NAME
SAY : To make the Amiga talk.
SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
SAY is a command that reads a text through the speakers of the
Amiga. By default SAY simply reads the text on the command line, but
it can also read a text file (using the -x option). Options are all
preceeded by a minus sign, this is how SAY knows where the text to
read ends.
Say can also be started from Workbench and run in an
interactive mode.
OPTIONS
Options must be preceeded by a minus signed on the command line: -f.
m : Use a male voice (default.)
f : Use a female voice.
r : Use a robotic voice, speed with no inflection.
n : Use a Natural voice, speed with inflection (default.)
s : Set the rate at which the text is read, in word per minute. Valid
values are from 40 to 400.
p : Set the pitch of the voice. Valid values are from 64 to 320.
x : This option can be used to tell SAY to read from file.
