    I've got Festival and some kind of 'speech dispatcher' running from
when I installed it several months ago, then found no easy way to make
use of it.  Maybe someone here has gone through this?

    "Saytime" is very similar to what I'm looking for, but it merely
plays samples of words through a clever script.  I'd like something that
announces the time regularly, AND allows me to echo text to /dev/speech
and hear it aloud.  Things like "Take your pills" and "Wake up for
transport" and other reminders, in case I'm not on the computer.

    Has anyone done something like this?
