So I wanted to work on a little web-toy that would let kids "hunt" for high frequency words  (basically vocabulary words that need to be immediately recognized) in a field of words. But as they don't necessarily know the words yet, it needs to be something that's read out audibly "Click on <blah>" and then I ran smack into the number of high frequency words in even the first 4 years of school (it's 168 in our school).  That's a lot of words to read out, process, and save just to see if the web-toy is workable.

So, festival to generate text, avconv to convert it to web-compatible formats, and now I have the audio files to start working on the web-toy when I get some time again.
