eSpeak

eSpeak is an open-source text-to-speech software that converts written text into spoken words. It uses algorithms to generate voice from text, allowing computers to "speak" in various languages and accents. Designed for efficiency and flexibility, eSpeak is lightweight and can be integrated into different applications, making it useful for aiding those with visual impairments or for automation. While it may not produce the most natural-sounding speech compared to more advanced systems, it provides clear and customizable audio output suitable for a wide range of uses.
