I suggest using the phrase "reads aloud" instead of "reads out". To "read aloud" can only mean audible output whereas "read out" has more than one meaning.

Hi
[Please CC me on reply]
I am thinking about the description of a new package that I intent to
package [1].
This package is a simple command-line program that reads the content of
an EPUB e-book out with espeak. The issue that I have is with the
English _expression_ "to read out". I believe that most non-native speaker
might not recognize that this package is not meant for the user to read
the e-book (only the chapters are displayed), but that this program
mostly gives audio output. I have the current description (inspired by
my daisy-player description), but improvements are very welcome.
Description : eBook reader that reads out via synthetic voice
ebook-speaker is a command-line electronic book reader that reads out
eBooks using speech synthesis. (Currently only the EPUB format is
supported). It has a simple user interface appropriate for Braille
terminals.
Thanks in advance.
Paul
