Using TTS engines of Windows in Linux
For GUI, you can install TextAloud, eSpeak. Here is instruction of install TextAloud by using wine.
eSpeak also support command line to read text but i can’t choose specific TTS engines with it
. Then i try using sapi2wav . Sapi2wav support reading from strings or text and output to wav file. But with neospeech TTS engines, output not good as i expected.
Finally, i found Say++. This tools quite simple, it’s allow read string from command line with default TTS engines. Voice quality quite good.
I try to change default TTS engine to Neospeech engine.
1. Try to find out list of TTS engine on Win$. Open regedit, go walk to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Speech\Voices\Tokens. It will show you a list TTS engines.
2. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Speech\Voices and edit key DefaultTokenId to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Speech\Voices\Tokens\[TTS engines].

Macro popup google application
In Firefox, there is sidebar that could use to display useful information. I was hearing in there, people using Google applications(Google Notebook,Gtalk,GReader,GMail,GDocument,GCalendar…) which has built for mobile application to display in sidebar. In K-Meleon, in this moment sidebar isn’t, i think about using javascripts to popup small windows to view page contents. That is very similar sidebar in firefox. Very usefuls.
Here is my macro GApplication.kmm . Hoping useful for you guys.
Use: To use this macro, you have to turn off function Popup blocker or add exceptions rule to popup except www.google.com address.
