Description: A multi-lingual software speech synthesizer
 eSpeak is a software speech synthesizer for English, and some other
 languages.
 .
 eSpeak produces good quality English speech. It uses a different synthesis
 method from other open source text to speech (TTS) engines, and sounds quite
 different. It's perhaps not as natural or "smooth", but some find the
 articulation clearer and easier to listen to for long periods.
 .
 It can run as a command line program to speak text from a file or from stdin.
 .
 It works well as a "Talker" with the KDE text to speech system (KTTS), as an
 alternative to Festival for example. As such, it can speak text which has been
 selected into the clipboard, or directly from the Konquerer browser or the Kate
 editor.
 .
   * Includes different Voices, whose characteristics can be altered.
   * Can produce speech output as a WAV file.
   * Can translate text to phoneme codes, so it could be adapted as a front end
     for another speech synthesis engine.
   * Potential for other languages. Rudimentary (and probably humourous)
     attempts at German and Esperanto are included.
   * Compact size. The program and its data total about 350 kbytes.
   * Written in C++.

 eSpeak은 영어 및 기타 다른 언어를 위한 음성 합성 소프트웨어 입니다.
 .
 eSpeak는 좋은 품질에 영어 음성을 만듭니다. 이 프로그램은 서로 다른 오픈소스
 text to speech (TTS) 엔진에서 다른 합성 방법을 사용하며, 그리고 전혀 다른
 소리가 납니다. 아마도 자연스럽거나 부드럽지는 않겠지만, 그러나 일부는 오랬
 동안 듣고 있으면 발음이 명료하고 쉽게 들리는 것을 찾을 수 있습니다.
 .
 eSpeak은 파일 또는 표준 입력으로 text를 말하기위해 명령행 프로그램으로 실행할
 수도 있습니다.
