[NBLUG/talk] Electronic format to audio

[Chris Wagner]

Hi Jack.  Festival is the de facto TTS (text-to-speech) engine under
Linux.  This looks like a good link:

Subject: [NBLUG/talk] Electronic format to audio

My mother's eyesight has just gone much worse, suddenly, and she can no
longer read.  If we can find electronic books, is there anything in
Linux to convert them to audio?  I'll look myself, but often somebody
already knows the answer I'm looking for. 

Thanks,
Jack
