Provides Text-To-Speech functionality to HexChat using festival or espeak (with or without mbrola). Based on XChat TTS Script v0.1.
For best results, install festival and a voice package like festvox-kallpc16k for english or festvox-rablpc16k for british_english:
sudo apt-get install festival festvox-rablpc16k
If you want to use mbrola instead:
sudo apt-get install mbrola
Download a voice package and install it in /usr/share/mbrola/
