FLITE(1) General Commands Manual FLITE(1)

NAME

flite - A small simple speech synthesizer

SYNOPSIS

flite [OPTION]... TEXTFILE [WAVEFILE]

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the flite command. This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has documentation in /usr/share/doc/flite/

Converts text in TEXTFILE to a waveform in WAVEFILE. If text contains a space, it is treated as a literal textstring and spoken, and not as a file name. if WAVEFILE is unspecified or "play" the result is played on the current systems audio device. If WAVEFILE is "none" the waveform is discarded (good for benchmarking)
