- saystring.c [version 0.8 for NeXT Release 2.1]
- A command line program to speak a text string through NeXT audio out.
- This is essentially a program that plays concatenated sound files of words with
- some special treatment for numbers. As such, it only can speak words that have
- corresponding sound files. Numbers are spoken by concatenating digit sounds.
- The program is very simple and low overhead, but should be quite usable for
- applications that needs only limited vocaburary. This has been written to
- provide voice alerts for monitoring experimental parameters in a biology lab.
- (Commands come from remote devices via rsh.)
-
- Usage: saystring "A line to be spoken"
- Example: saystring "temperature #39.4 degrees is too_high"
- Example: saystring "our phone number is #6 #4 #2 _ #6 #4 #4 #0"
