+## Speaking your inbox
+
+It is possible to use text-to-speech to read your inbox as posts arrive. This can be useful if you are not looking at a screen but want to stay ambiently informed of what's happening.
+
+On Debian based systems you will need to have the **python3-espeak** package installed.
+
+``` bash
+python3 epicyon.py --speaker yournickname@yourdomain --password [yourpassword]
+```
