flite - A small simple speech synthesizer

       This  manual  page was written by Mario Lang <mlang@debian.org>, for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may
       be used by others).

                                                February 25, 2003                                       FLITE(1)

       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)
