import os 
import time 
import pyperclip
time.sleep(2)
os.system("xdotool key --delay 13 ctrl+c")
x=pyperclip.paste()
f=open("/tmp/temp", "w")length = f.write(x)
f.close()
time.sleep(1)
os.system("espeak -f /tmp/temp") 

dependencies:
    pyperclip - python library to get text from clipboard
    epseak      - convert text to speak (linux)
