NAME

       talkwith - script to easily switch speakup speech synthesizer

SYNOPSIS

       talkwith synth daemon [options ...]

DESCRIPTION

       talkwith  is  a  script  which  makes  switching speech synthesizers in
       speakup very simple.

       The options are as follows:

       synth - any synthesizer supported by speakup

       daemon - for the 'soft' synthesizer, this  should  be  either  spd  for
       speechd-up,  or  espeakup to run espeakup.  For the other synthesizers,
       this is ignored.

       options - for a software synthesizer, the rest of the command  line  is
       passed on to the daemon; otherwise it is ignored.

       Talkwith  does not install or remove modules, so make sure any required
       driver modules are installed or built into the  kernel  before  running
       talkwith.
