[mary-users] Use Mary to read aloud

[matteo marchesi]

Hello Mary users,
    I'm new in MaryTTS world.
I've found this sw looking for something able to read aloud for dyslexic
that works fine and with a natural voice under Linux (Xubunu 14.04 32 bits
and Ubuntu 14.04 64bits).
I'd like to have something that can read aloud a selected text.
What I have put together so far is this flow.
1) start marytts-server (currently manually but I plan to start it at
startup)
2) Fn to launch a bash script that curl the desired text to be read.

The bash is:



*#!/bin/bashcurl -G
"http://localhost:59125/process?INPUT_TYPE=TEXT&OUTPUT_TYPE=AUDIO&AUDIO=WAVE_FILE&LOCALE=IT&
<http://localhost:59125/process?INPUT_TYPE=TEXT&OUTPUT_TYPE=AUDIO&AUDIO=WAVE_FILE&LOCALE=IT&>"
--data-urlencode "INPUT_TEXT=$(xsel)" | aplay*
Well, it seems it works but I'm wandering if is there any possibility to
run marytts w/o launching the server and w/o the curl.

for example with espeak the bash is something like



*#!/bin/bashespeak -vit $(xsel)*


or with pico2wave



*#!/bin/bashpico2wave -l=it-IT -w=/tmp/out.wav "$(xsel)"
aplay /tmp/out.wav
*



Is it somehow possible?


ciao
