     Playing of words
TTS

For eSpeak text-to-speech synthesizer you need to set command:

(where "C:\Program Files\eSpeak\command_line\" is folder with installed eSpeak)
Linux: espeak %s

Wav files

For using wav files you need some console player similar to sox (https://sourceforge.net/projects/sox/).
For playing with sox you need to set command:
Windows: C:\Program Files\sox-14-4-1\sox.exe %s -d
