$SELF - wrapper for pico2wave, renders text to speech and
$INDT plays it using the 'play' command.
Written by B. Watson <yalhcru@gmail.com>, for the SlackBuilds.org project.
Licensed under the WTFPL. See http://www.wtfpl.net/txt/copying/ for details.
If a -l <language> option is given, it will be passed to pico2wave.
Exit status of $SELF is that of pico2wave.
Examples:
$SELF 'Hello world.'
Speaks "Hello world" in the default language (en-US)
$SELF -l en-GB 'Hello world.'
As above, in a British accent.
fortune -s | $SELF
Reads from standard input.
$SELF < /etc/motd
Speak a text file. Don't forget the < or it says the filename instead.
