   Yes, I'm actually this lazy.

   #!/usr/bin/bash

   INPUT_FILE=$1

   if [ ! -f ${INPUT_FILE} ]
   then
   echo "File ${INPUT_FILE} doesn't exist. Please try again."
   exit 1
   fi

   cat ${INPUT_FILE} |python3 -m piper --model en_GB-alan-medium --output-raw | aplay -r 22050 -f S16_LE -t raw -

     @MobileOak It's a call to the piper tts engine that converts the provided file (should be text) to audio. The shell script that code is from is called read2me on my system, so I just type read2me file.txt and it reads the file out loud.

     @mike @MobileOak Wouldn't spd-say or espeak work? Spd-say is pre-installed on a lot of Linux systems.
