KSpeak - eSpeak TTS porting for kindle

Amazon's TTS support is very limitated: Voiceview supports only english language.
So i ported eSpeak, an open source speech synthesizer (http://espeak.sourceforge.net/)
You can use it by command line, or you can use a simple kindlet frontend i made for it.
You can speak a free text or a text file, i'm looking for a command line tool to extract text from epub/mobi/azw/kfx/whatev files (if anyone knows please tell me )
I tested on my PW3 with a cheap usb audio adapter (like this) and some earphones

Install instructions:
  1. jailbreak your device
  2. extract espeak folder from the tar archive and place it in your extensions folder
  3. copy KSpeak.azw2 kindlet in your documents folder
  4. connect an usb audio adapter (if kindle says to set your language to english, just ignore it)

hope you enjoy it
