eSpeak is a compact open source software speech synthesizer for English
and other languages.
eSpeak produces good quality English speech. It uses a different synthesis
method from other open source text to speech (TTS) engines, and sounds
quite different. It's perhaps not as natural or "smooth", but some find
the articulation clearer and easier to listen to for long periods. It
can run as a command line program to speak text from a file or from stdin.
portaudio is optional but highly recommended: To actually produce
audio output, this package requires portaudio V19 (available on
slackbuilds.org). Without portaudio, espeak will only be able to render
speech to a wav file (which may still be useful to you).
To build without portaudio support, set WAVONLY=yes in the script's
environment.

.SH NAME
espeak \- A multi-lingual software speech synthesizer.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B espeak
.RI [ options ]\ [ "<words>" ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B espeak
is a software speech synthesizer for English, and some other languages.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B \-h
Show summary of options.
.TP
.B \-f <text file>
Text file to speak
.TP
.B \-\-stdin
Read text input from stdin instead of a file
.TP
If neither -f nor --stdin, <words> are spoken, or if none then text is spoken from stdin, each line separately.
.TP
.B \-q
Quiet, don't produce any speech (may be useful with -x)
.TP
.B \-a <integer>
Amplitude, 0 to 20, default is 10
.TP
.B \-l <integer>
Line length. If not zero (which is the default), consider
lines less than this length as and-of-clause
.TP
.B \-p <integer>
Pitch adjustment, 0 to 99, default is 50
.TP
.B -s <integer>
peed in words per minute, default is 160
.TP
.B \-v <voice name>
Use voice file of this name from espeak-data/voices
.TP
.B -m
Indicates that the text contains SSML (Speech Synthesis Markup Language) tags or other XML tags. Those SSML tags which are supported are interpreted. Other tags, including HTML, are ignored, except that some HTML tags such as <hr> <h2> and <li> ensure a break in the speech.
.TP
.B \-w <wave file name>
Write output to this WAV file, rather than speaking it directly
.TP
.B \-x
Write phoneme mnemonics to stdout
.TP
.B \-X
Write phonemes mnemonics and translation trace to stdout
.TP
.B \-\-stdout
Write speech output to stdout
.TP
.B \-\-compile=<voice name>
Compile the pronunciation rules and dictionary in the current directory. =<voice name> is optional and specifies which language
.TP
.B \-\-punct="<characters>"
Speak the names of punctuation characters during speaking. If =<characters> is omitted, all punctuation is spoken.
.TP
.B \-k <integer>
Indicate capital letters with: 1=sound, 2=the word "capitals", higher values = a pitch increase (try -k20).
.TP
.B \-\-voices[=<language code>]
Lists the available voices. If =<language code> is present then only those voices which are suitable for that language are listed.

# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line
# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'
# on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must
# make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also
# customary to leave one space after the ':'.
