Tiki "the talking" diary is a lightweight, easy to use diary application for Linux with speech capabilities. TikiDiary is a Qt application which uses Sqlite as the database back end and so stores information on the local computer and not the internet. It uses espeak as the speech synthesizer. TikiDiary is free and open source.
Tiki is an acronym for Tightly Integrated Knowledge Infrastructure but in Polynesian mythology, tiki often represents the first human being on Earth.
On Debian and derivative distributions TikiDiary can be installed using the deb package. Alternatively compile from source.
