Narrator for Cygwin

Does anyone know if there is a reader (text-to-speech) tool for cygwin or linux? I know of Microsoft's narrator, which partially works by sounding out what I type in the cygwin window (bash command line) but it doesn't report anything written to stdout.

Is there a native Cygwin开发者_开发技巧 tool anyone knows of?

BRLTTY, which is available through Cygwin's setup.exe, apparently does have some speech support in addition to being able to drive Braille displays. I've got no experience with it though.

BRLTTY seems to be just an interface for Braile displays - I couldn't make it "talk".

Instead get festival binary from bottom of here, put it in C:/festival, and in cygwin

echo "hello world" | /cygdrive/c/festival/bin/festival.exe --tts

should say hello world. Then I put it into a script say.sh and calling

~/say.sh hi

actually does what you'd expect :)
