This pet package installs:
espeak
espeakedit
mbrola voice en1
At first I wanted to create a pet just for espeakedit, but I saw that previous versions of espeak didn't work with 1.42.04. This is the reason why I have added espeak too. If you are looking for espeak only click

The aim of espeakedit is to modify the stress in words that may be spoken in the wrong way by espeak or create new words and phonetic rules. If you are game, you may even add a new language altogether. Feel free to share your improvements if you like.
I have put in the package the mbrola voice en1 to easily enjoy its very good quality. If you look for other mbrola voices launch espeakedit, select help, see instructions about mbrola.
Also, in the pet you can find a small script for idlers, which reads txt and html files with mbrola voices without typing long commands. However, remember only en1 is present after download. As a bonus the script may convert txt and html files into mp3. It uses lame, which should be installed in all pups equal and above 4.0 series. To launch type eread in a terminal.
At last a quick start guide is placed in /root/my-documents and an entry is added to the start menu.
tested in 4.2.0, 4.3.1, 5.0 (lupu) but it may work in other versions too.
To stay on the safe side if you have previous versions of espeak uninstall them before installing this package.
