title: Operate - espeak -v mb-en1 "hello world" - in Python
body: <p>how I can run this command:</p>
  
  <pre><code>espeak -v mb-en1 "hello world"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>this works in Linux Mint terminal but how would this in a Python program?</p>
  
  <p>thanks for any suggestions</p>
  
  <p>last minute change:</p>
  
  <p>I recently managed to work this way:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import os
  
  text = "hello world"
  
  os.system('espeak -v mb-en1 text')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but I need to read the inside of the variable, not to say "text"</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions?</p>
