SYNOPSIS
========
flite [*-options*] [*text/file*] [*wavefile*]
DESCRIPTION
===========
Converts text in *text/file* to a waveform in *wavefile*.
If *text/file* contains a space, it is treated as a literal
text string and spoken, and not as a file name. If *text/file*
is omitted or **-**, text will be read from standard input.
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).
Any other options must appear before *text/file* and/or *wavefile*.
The full documentation for **flite** can be read as a GNU
info file with the command **info flite**, or as HTML in
*/usr/doc/flite-|version|/html/index.html*.
OPTIONS
=======
.. notice the **-opt** *param* stuff? rst's option recognition
.. can't handle non-GNU-style options like -option (it thinks the
.. option is -o, and the ption is the parameter). So we have to help
.. it out a little.
