say-it

It just like the say command in Mac OSX, but born to be much powerful. We used Baidu Yuyin as the TTS engine. You need to have network access to use this tool. The pronunciation of Chinese is much better than English. Generally this could be a tool to help you to learn Chinese or English.

Install

npm install -g say-it

How to use

say-it 'Hello 世界'

say-it -p 3 '春晓 孟浩然 春眠不觉晓，处处闻啼鸟。夜来风雨声，花落知多少。'

say-it -p 4 "Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving. ― Albert Einstein"

Language support limit

Due to Baidu Yuyin's limit, right now we only support Chinese and English.
