Text To Speech On Linux With Festival DistroTube Festival is a general multi-lingual speech synthesizer (a text-to-speech program). It will read documents saved on your system, or read highlighted text you have selected with your mouse or cursor. Also, it can convert the document into an mp3 that you can then play with your audio player. Alux: As someone who's dyslexic and has read countless 300+ books using Balabolka on Windows its really nice to see a similar option for Linux. The way Microsux is heading with Windows 11 I have no doubts that I will be switching to Linux before they drop support for 10, I'm happy that I will still be able to read my books without having to resort to wine magic :)

Combine this with the PulseEffects app and make,
Pitch ON -Cents: -14- -Semitones: -5- -Octaves: 0- -Crispness: 0-
Reverberation ON -Diffusion: 0.50-, -Room Size: Large- -Decay Time: 1.5-,
to make your PC sound like a giant robot or an alien from Star Trek. :D

These tutorials are the best. Complete, thorough, clearly explained, and done step by step so that when I follow along I can see we will have the same problem together, or if it is just me then I can stop right there to find a fix, knowing exactly where I am.

Thanks! Using Foliate + Festival to read books aloud.
It's surprisingly hard to figure out what Festival voices are female, so I'm just using the one in the video, instead of downloading and trying them all.

google IBM TTS and try their demo... they even use a markup language
that tells the synthesizer when to pause, lower or raise tones etc...
best TTS in the world at the moment I'd say...

There was TTS program at least fifteen years ago (I can't remember the name of the program), which produced almost real sounding human voice. Unfortunately it wasn't open source though.

Wish I knew this program when I was trying to do a box in Hack the Box, where I had to do a sqlinjection with speech syntesis. You can't imagine how hard it was for me...

Is there a speech to text application? Been using Dragon on Windows and am not happy with it. Would like a F/OSS application of the same kind that might be better.

It seems still have issues with spanish language, I tried in my Linux(Ubuntu 20.04) machine this command :# festival --language spanish --tts document.txt
