It'd be tolerable to hear a voice-interface with this, but it'd be maddening to try to listen to a book this way.
- beagle3 10y agoCheck the license on 'say' before you use it commercially. There are restrictions.
- alblue 10y agoDo you have a reference to the restrictions of what is prodced by "say"? Just because a tool may be GPL does not mean that its product need be (c.f. gcc)
