Can you use the NVDA Voice Addons on Linux/Ubuntu?

Question

There are a bunch of voice addons here, and I'd like to use them on Ubuntu/Linux to read text documents, in the way where I would give it a text document or a string of text, and it would generate an audio file I can play in rhythmbox.

Is there a way to do this? I don't mind using wine.

Haven't tried yet, so can't say much. I think if you love NVDA so much, then you might need run Windows in Virtualbox. Sorry, can't make a comment yet. — adadion, Oct 31 '15 at 16:20
That is acceptable if it is contained enough, however, it is not that I love NVDA so much, but rather, that I want to use the voices here which are provided free of charge. They originate from Vocalizer 6. — Anon, Oct 31 '15 at 19:53

Unfortunately, NVDA isn't listed in Wine AppDB. It means that untested on Wine yet.

But, you can try one of this for Linux.

Is it possible to get espeak or pico to use those voices provided? – Anon Oct 30 '15 at 14:44

Alternatively

SVOX pico2wave A very minimalistic TTS, a better sounding than espeak

gSpeech is a simple Python, GTK+ front end for the command line application pico2wave from the GNU/Linux SVOX Pico implementation.

I know pico2wav... the sound quality is the best linux has, but it is still awful compared to the commercial solutions, and it annoyingly has an extremely low character limit. – Anon Nov 03 '15 at 03:59
