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)
