I made a version of that which fixes text with \uXXXX escapes (replaces a couple it knows about, and discards others) instead of reading them "backslash u two thousand fourteen". Handy for reading stuff from some websites. It also uses my 'say' wrapper, but could easily be reverted to use sed if you don't have and aren't willing to get sox, esdcat. (I'm posting again with it, since this won't permit more than 5 attachments...)
