In Windows I can do these steps:

1. Open Notepad

2. Copy and Paste 



CreateObject("SAPI.SpVoice").Speak"Hello."



3. Save it as xyz.vbs

4. Run it/Open it

It will then speak "Hello". Is there something like this in Ubuntu?

Install the espeak package. Then run in a terminal

espeak -v en "Hello"

To change the voice, please refer to the manpage. An excerpt from man espeak:

   --voices[=<language code>]

          Lists  the available voices. If =<language code> is present then only

          those voices which are suitable for that language are listed.



   -v <voice name>

          Use voice file of this name from espeak-data/voices
