My 2 cents on the topic, command line one-liners:
-
on Win using
PowerShell.exe
PowerShell -Command "Add-Type –AssemblyName System.Speech; (New-Object System.Speech.Synthesis.SpeechSynthesizer).Speak('hello');"
-
on Win using
mshta.exe
mshta vbscript:Execute("CreateObject(""SAPI.SpVoice"").Speak(""Hello"")(window.close)")
-
on OSX using
say
say "hello"
-
Ubuntu Desktop (>=2015) using native
spd-say
spd-say "hello"
-
on any other Linux
- refer to How to text-to-speech output using command-line?
- commandline function using google TTS (wget to mp3->mplayer)
- command using google with mplayer directly:
/usr/bin/mplayer -ao alsa -really-quiet -noconsolecontrols "http://translate.google.com/translate_tts?ie=UTF-8&client=tw-ob&q=Hello%20World&tl=en"
;
-
on Raspberry Pi, Win, OSX (or any remote) using Node-Red
