Does linux Mint have googlesay in it's repos


Hello all

I am running linux mint in a VM. I am looking for an app called googlesay. I did an apt-cache search googlesay but got no results, I'm wondering if anyone know if it's in a different name or package.

Thanks

The googlesay wasn't a binary program, it was a shell script that uses google's translate to convert text to spoken words. It is very cool because the voice is more human-like and very understandable as to espeak or festival which sounds more like robots and sometimes not understandable.
