It's perfect for anyone looking for a light-hearted way to hear text read aloud, whether for entertainment, testing TTS engines, or just for the joy of hearing Finnish-inflected English.\n\n## Features\n\n- Convert text to speech with a Finnish accent applied to English words.\n- Customize the TTS voice and volume.\n- Use a word replacement feature to modify text before speech synthesis.\n- Support for input text via command line or file.\n\n## Installation\n\nTo use Huuda, you need to have Python installed on your system as well as the following dependencies:\n\n- `text2wave` for text-to-speech synthesis.\n- `sox` for audio processing.\n- `play` for audio playback.\n\nThese tools are commonly available in UNIX-like environments. Ensure you have Python installed, then set up Huuda with:\n\n```bash\n# For Debian-based systems, use:\nsudo apt-get install festvox-suopuhe-lj festvox-suopuhe-mv sox play\n```\n\n## Usage\n\nRun `huuda.py` with the necessary arguments:\n\n```bash\npython huuda.py --voice \u003cvoice_option\u003e --text \"Your text here\"\npython huuda.py --file yourfile.txt\n```\n\nOr, for English/Finglish\n```bash\npython huuda.py --finglish --text \"It's very nice here.\"\n```\n\n# Options include:\n\n`--english`, `--eng`, `--en`, `--e`, `--finglish` to speak in English/Finglish instead of Finnish\n`--blast` to increase the volume.\n`--voice` to set the TTS voice.\n`--text` or `-t`to provide text directly.\n`--file` or `-f` to specify a text file for input.\n`--replacement_file` to specify a custom word replacement file separately.\n\n# Word Replacement Management\n\n- Use list_converter.py to convert a list of sed-style replacement commands into the JSON format expected by Huuda.\n\n- Run word_adder.py to interactively add new word replacements to your JSON file.\n\n# Contributing\n\nContributions to Huuda are welcome!
