It works and, as you say, it's just OK. The voice is way too robotic to really help to improve one's pronunciation. Any clue if there's a source to get different voices which can be inputted with better pronuciation?
I did espeak -a 200 -p 60 -v en-gb since it is a British project in its beginning and the pronunciation is a little bit less robotic.
You may try out different pronunciations listed in speak --voices
Thanks for the post, bu the way! I also miss the old Mac reader.
Yeah... it's less than ideal. I've had some ideas on how to make a better version, but they're more effort than I'm willing to put in at the moment since I primarily use MacOS. If I ever switch over to Linux full-time, I'll make something better and drop a comment here so you get notified.
