say-it

It just like the say command in Mac OSX, but born to be much powerful. We used Baidu Yuyin as the TTS engine. You need to have network access to use this tool. The pronunciation of Chinese is much better than English. Generally this could be a tool to help you to learn Chinese or English.

Install

npm install -g say-it

How to use
