    Loving this on Linux Lite. Using it for Scratch projects. Needed 120 sound files for 2345Tables project. So quick on command line.

    This program is great! It is very simple, user friendly, and supports many languages​​, and I can see that there is an option to create a pause between words when generating speech, which is particularly important to me, but I don't understand how it works? Can someone explain to me? PLEASE HELP! My e-mail is: vladimirvasovicns@gmail.com I DESPERATELY need text-to-speech software for dictation that should be slow enough so that humans can write it on the paper, but I don't know how to make pauses between words in eSpeak.
