[linux-audio-user] Piping multiple text documents into Audio

Hello Everybody I have a lot of text documents that I wish to output into speech audio. Firstly I wanted to know if there is any software that would allow one to do this. This could be likened to an educational tool of sorts that reads a file. Secondly I was hoping to change the output of audio by the actual content of the text/html page. The actual reading of text would be at quite a speed (not necessarily comprehendible) but in essence the content itself would create the music - according to an adjustable tempo/spec? Maybe each letter could represent a music note? I am not sure if this makes sense but if possible I would like to hear if there are any comments? MAny thanks for your time and have a good week!
