speechd
speechd implements a /dev/speech device using either the Festival or rsynth speech synthesis packages. All plaintext written to this device will be spoken aloud (or optionally output as morse code if you are using the "morse" program as the underlying driver). Certain programs have been modified to make use of this device, including an ircII script called speech.irc, a Slashdot ticker called slashes and a package for TiK. All of these modified packages are available on the homepage.
