I found an article in the "Raspberry Pi Handbook" that said a tool called "ip-read" could have the Raspberry Pi announce its assigned IP address through the speakers using eSpeak.
I've tried searching the forum for ip-read, and although the tool is mentioned in some posts on headless usage scripts with the Raspberry Pi, the forum search says there are no posts containing the word ip-read.
How do I find and install ip-read on my Raspbian wheezy?
Re: ip-read
This appears to be a script, which you can find details of here: http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewt ... 51&t=44917
At the end of the thread, it points to a link for installation files, but these appear to be RPM (Fedora) so it depends which OS you are using whether it is useful. You could try and install the scripts and dependencies manually, I suppose
