Download (11 MB):
http://dotpups.de/dotpups/Science/txt2speech-german.pup

Then open a console-window, and type:
say "Dieser Synthesizer ist durchaus zum vorlesen längerer Texte geeignet. Er kann auch zählen. 3,14 ist Pi."

Or:
say "inglish sounds olmost as woers as spoken by a riel german" Laughing


To set the speed, type:
sayspeed 10000

Try values between 10000 and 20000.
To set the default (15000) just type
sayspeed

It uses aplay (alsa) for playing, to change that, you would have to modify
/usr/local/bin/txt2speech.sh

I created the dotpup using these instructions:

It is nice.
Ist es möglich, sich eine längere Textdatei vorlesehen zu lassen?

yes, to read a longer textfile, run such a command:

say "`cat /etc/puppyversion`"

But it is difficult to understand, because it sounds very monotone.

you could use such a shellscript:

saytext
Code:
#!/bin/bash

say "`cat $1`"


Then you can use it like say:
saytext /etc/puppyversion

It might be worth a try, to test other voices.
Download one of those mentioned here:
http://www.linuxwiki.de/SprachAusgabe

Extract to
/usr/local/txt2speech
Then you should have a new subfolder there like "de2".

To use it instead of de1, edit this line in /usr/local/bin/txt2speech.sh:
VOICE=de1
Set it to
VOICE=de2

here, this is much better:

save it as /usr/local/bin/talktext1

Then make it executable:
chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/talktext1

Code:
#!/usr/bin/puppybasic
include "/usr/lib/wxbasicscript/basefunctions.inc"

say = "say"


thefile = argvtostring()

if left(thefile,3) = "-en" then
  say = "talk"
  thefile = cutleft(thefile , "-en ")
end if



t = readfiletolist(thefile)

for i = 0 to count(t)-1

  t[i] = replace(t[i],"\"" , "\\\"")

  t[i] = replace(t[i],". " , ". . . . ")
  t[i] = replace(t[i],"! " , "! . . . ")
  t[i] = replace(t[i],"? " , "? . . . ")

next

writelisttofile("/tmp/talktext.tmp" , t)
shell(say & " \"`cat /tmp/talktext.tmp`\"")
removefile("/tmp/talktext.tmp")



Then save this text as "/root/test.txt":

Quote:
US-Außenministerin Rice hat Äußerungen der iranischen Regierung über den Vermittlungsvorschlag im Atomstreit begrüßt. Der Optimismus von Deutschlands Außenminister Steinmeier hält sich indes in Grenzen.


important save it as ISO-8859-1, not as UTF-8 Exclamation
There is a small selection for that in the "save as" dialog of leafpad.

Then run:
talktext1 /root/test.txt

Now you really can understand what she says!
Ok, maybe you must listen twice. But it is much better than before, because now you have a pause between each sentence. And you can use Texts, that contain the "-sign, too.

To test it with the english festival:
Use an english text, then run
talktext1 -en /root/test.txt

But that is much more difficult to understand than german. Maybe some more tweaking achieves better results.
