content: Best TTS Program for Linux (doesn't sound like shit) I have searched for a good TTS app for a while on Linux and have used espeak, flite, etc... They all sound like trash or suck to use. I recently came across the best solution, I have found thus far... gSpeech + svox  https://github.com/tuxmouraille/gSpeech  need to install libttspico-data libttspico-utils libttspico0  If anyone wants the commands and  the gSpeech.desktop file config let me know, but this works like a charm reads from the clipboard and from selected text.
