I’ve been working on getting all of my software up to date, from tweaking and rebuilding Rollator, to maintaining the software currently on my website.

For roughly the last week, I’ve been unable to accomplish much, due to an injury at work. My left arm is stuck in a sling, and is quite painful.

The medication I have been given does little – allowing me nearly two hours of sleep at night; hence, I’m scatterbrained, tired, and in pain.

I’m sure I’ll be fully healed shortly, however, until then, all software and updates will be slowed.

Speak is a quick little utility I threw together from old BSD code, and utilizes MacOS X’s underlying speech engine.

It’s a command line utility, which is odd for all but the most geeky of Mac users – mimmicing cat, mincing the data given to it, and rather than displaying it on the terminal, it will speak it through your Mac’s speakers, as demonstrated in this MP3.

Enough of the banter, I’m sure you want to get to speaking your text files.
