Could anyone help me with Text To Speech software?
Hello everyone, I use a Text to Speech program under Windows XP by the name of PleaseRead2003 which ran fine under Wine in the past. Now it's having a problem finding the voices when I installed the new verison of Wine not to long ago. Could anyone 1) help me get the voices install correctly or 2) Point me to a native program that does the same thing under Linux. It's a program I've been using to read websites, e-mails and correct my writing when it comes to documention for me for years.
Distribution: Xubuntu 9.10, Gentoo 2.6.27 (AMD64), Darwin 9.0.0 (arm)

Since it is so scriptable it can be used with other programs many of which have a gui like gnome-speech, ktts and gaim. what do you realy need a gui for?

If you are running KDE, the kde-accessibility metapackage along with Festival along with Emacspeak --The Complete Audio Desktop http://emacspeak.sourceforge.net/
Should get you most if not all of the same functions.
I would like an GUI because of 1) I like to be able to edit what I've written inside a GUI interface 2) I like to copy and paste the text from websites or documents and have the program read it to me.
