This is a test of the Pied Piper. Pied is the the interface that you can sample and download and finally choose your favorite high quality voices in many languages which connects to the speech dispatcher. Pearl Linux also added a small app that speaks the highlighted text,There is a keyboard short already created to trigger the piper TTS engine that is "<Alt>+s". Also a shortcut to stop the TTS engine which is "<Alt>+x". Feel free to change the shortcut keys in the control center if you wish, Another great advantage to using pied piper TTS is this does not require you to be online to use it once you download your favorite voice models. It's all FREE and Pearl Linux is the first distribution to preinstall this service, It has been a long time coming for Linux to experience quality voice models but finally were here and again its all FREE from Pearl Linux,We hope you enjoy this high quality TTS engine.
