Say
Say is an MPW tool which reads standard input and converts it to spoken text using the Speech Manager. The current version selects one of the installed voices (either MacinTalk or Gala Tea) at random. A future version may allow a command line option to specify which voice should be used. This was a quick hack. There is no commando interface.
Say is useful for notifying the user when a lengthy script has completed execution, eg:
DoVeryLongBuild # build latest version of my application
Echo "Wake up!" | Say # wake me up when it's done
Requires: Speech Manager, MPW, System 7.0.
