flite: a small simple speech synthesizer
Carnegie Mellon University, Copyright (c) 1999-2016, all rights reserved
version: flite-2.2-current Sep 2018 (http://cmuflite.org)
usage: flite TEXT/FILE [WAVEFILE]
Converts text in TEXTFILE to a waveform in WAVEFILE
If text contains a space the 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)
Other options must appear before these options
--version Output flite version number
--help Output usage string
-o WAVEFILE Explicitly set output filename
-f TEXTFILE Explicitly set input filename
-t TEXT Explicitly set input textstring
-p PHONES Explicitly set input textstring and synthesize as phones
--set F=V Set feature (guesses type)
-s F=V Set feature (guesses type)
--seti F=V Set int feature
--setf F=V Set float feature
--sets F=V Set string feature
-ssml Read input text/file in ssml mode
-b Benchmark mode
-l Loop endlessly
-voice NAME Use voice NAME (NAME can be pathname/url to flitevox file)
-voicedir NAME Directory containing (clunit) voice data
