Text To Speech in Comment Line
Command Line Text To Speech Open up the terminal (Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal) and type:
say MacTips.org Rocks!
As you can see this is an extremely easy way to convert text to speech.
You can also have the computer say something after completing a command to notify you when the command has been completed.
For example:
ls *.jpg; say finished listing jpeg images
You can also speak the contents of a file by using the -f switch:
say -f text_file
You can also specify different voices by using the -v switch:
say -v Ralph Hi, my name is Ralph
There’s a whole list of available voices in the Text to Speech preferences (System Preferences -> Speech -> Text to Speech -> System Voice).
