TTS i.e. Text To Speech in Linux e.g. Ubuntu

January 23, 2023

Tbh epseak is very, very unsettling always when I encounter this diabolical speech. A slight shiver runs down my spine. But fear no more :D

Let's use pico2wav

This tool is more acceptable, still no match for the likes of gTTS or something similar nonetheless far better than speak.

As always, open up your terminal ctrl+alt+t

sudo apt-get install libttspico-utils

Afterward navigate to your text file then type these for an acceptable German vocalization i.e. TTS

pico2wave -w output.wav -l "de-DE" input.txt
