This is a simple Text-To-Speech that I have quickly pulled together for use on my main linux computer
To use this program you must first have 'xsel' installed.
ArchLinux:
sudo pacman -S xsel
Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install xsel
Then install the required imports for python,
sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Finally, to use it you just have to highlight text you want read to you and run the following command.
python3 tts.py
I recommend to bind that command to a key-shortcut
