Dear all, Excuse me for my searching skills: I just couldn't figure out how to do any simple text to speech in R console. What I want to do is, out put simple English words or sentences to speaker as voice. No fanciness. For example, I want the R console to speak "Hello world" or "Howdy". Do you know of any related function/package? Thanks, - Alex [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
Why do you think this is something R should be able to do?

Pizza can be ordered from R (fortune 66), why not tts? Under Debian, I can tts by apt-get install the tts engine espeak and then use the simple system call under R> system("espeak", input="hello world, howdy")On Thu, Oct 4, 2012 at 8:31 PM, Alex Zhang <alex.zhang at ymail.com> wrote:> Dear all, > > Excuse me for my searching skills: I just couldn't figure out how to do any simple text to speech in R console. > > What I want to do is, out put simple English words or sentences to speaker as voice.
