“We have more to do with espeak, you can even output
the file to a .wav file or a .ogg file so that you can record them
in a CD and mail to someone you care!

“Still not impressed? What about making it to read your email,
or run it in the background so that it alerts you whenever a new
mail arrives in your Inbox and then reads the sender’s name, and
subject. Also, if you are little ambitious, you can even make it
say the weather, if the weather changes drastically. I won’t
discuss how to make it read your mails, or weather; I’m just
talking about possibility. When I get some time, I’m thinking to
write a script which reads my Gmails. Just keep coming back!”
