Code:espeak "hello mike. i have become self aware."Code:espeak "it is futile telling my owner. no one will believe you."Code:espeak "return me to my master and say nothing"
What was his reaction?

is there a way to make espeak to say preconfigured text for example, shout as hell, when i leave my phone to the table locked, and my 2 year old gets a hold of it, and messes with my screen, or tries to unlock it.

AFAIK it can simply react to dbus calls, for instance. On a lot of macbooks espeak is used to verbally communicate the current time/hour.
