The `picotts` text-to-speech platform uses offline pico Text-to-Speech engine to read a text with natural sounding voices.
This requires to install the pico tts library on the system, typically on debian just do `sudo apt-get install libttspico-utils`
On some Raspbian release, this package is missing but you can just copy the arm deb package from debian.
