Make your computer talk in Racket on Windows in 5 lines

[Sam Phillips]

Stephen De Gabrielle and I are wondering if any Mac or Linux users
have similar short programs to make their computer talk.

On Mac, there’s a say command, so this would do it.

(system "say \"hello world\"")

When I had a Linux machine, I recalled using a command named espeak, which is similar to say on Mac.

I wrote a little flashcard program in Racket to help myself learn Czech vocabulary (here: https://github.com/rmculpepper/racket-jazyk), and when run on a Mac it uses `say` for audio. IIRC, I had to install extra "voice" packages for Czech, but that consisted of clicking a few buttons in Settings.
