putt is a node.js module that lets you easily output text in lots of fun ways. It wraps a bunch of other libraries to make this as simple as possible.

var putt = require('putt');
putt().speak("This is spoken aloud by your computer");
putt().desktop_notify("This appears as a desktop notification");

Supported output formats:

• Speech synthesizer (by say.js)
• Desktop notification (by node-growl)
• POST request (by restler)
• TODO: Email (by nodemailer)
• More coming soon... (SMS/call - twilio API, twitter/fb, ???)
