Jovie is the KDE system for Text-to-Speech, previously known as ktts.
Jovie consists of a Text-to-Speech Daemon, a
Konqueror plugin, and an extension for the
Kate text editor. The Daemon provides text-to-speech functionality to applications, such as
KMouth and
KNotify, via D-Bus. It also provides an icon from the system tray, for additional features. From this tray icon,
Jovie can speak the contents of a text file, speak the contents of the clipboard, and access the control module for configuration. Comprehensive information on jovie can be found on the KDE website:
