TTS Clock r5 has been released. I think all the bugs have been worked out, so I'm posting here instead of under programming.
TTS Clock is a simple bash script for the Empeg Rio Car that will speak outloud the weekday, month, day, and time using prerecorded files. It can be installed as a preinit script so that your car will speak the date and time a few seconds after ignition.
It is available for download from
http://www.zabaware.com/empeg/ This latest version includes an automatic ftp installation script to simplify installation.
