Inspired by the interview given to Hacker Public Radio
(http://hackerpublicradio.org/eps.php?id=1599) by Ingmar Steiner, I've
written maryspeak; a small java program  to make the core features of
Mary Text To Speech  readily accessible as a shell command.

The aim of maryspeak is to reduce the friction for Linux shell users
to use MaryTTS.

It accepts text input via the command line, via a file or via stdin,
processes it using MaryTTS, then outputs speech via sound, to a file,
or to stdout. It also allows for the selection of a voice and/or a
MaryTTS server.

It is published via my blog where there is the maryspeak.jar, the
source code and instructions for installation on Debian based distros.

There is also a blog post How-To install MaryTTS on Debian (which
should also work for Ubuntu, Mint, Crunchbang etc.)
