NAME
festival - a text-to-speech system.
SYNOPSIS
festival [options] [file0] [file1] ...
DESCRIPTION
Festival is a general purpose text-to-speech system. As
well as simply rendering text as speech it can be used in an
interactive command mode for testing and developing various
aspects of speech synthesis technology.
Festival has two major modes, command and tts (text-to-
speech). When in command mode input (from file or interac-
tively) is interpreted by the command interpreter. When in
tts mode input is rendered as speech.
OPTIONS
-h print help information
-q Start without loading any initialization files.
--libdir PATH
Specify alternate to default library directory (used
for architecture-specific libraries and programs)
--datadir PATH
Specify alternate to default shared-data directory (used
in initializing the variable load-path, and for
loading most initialisation files). Typically, the voice and
dictionary files reside here.
-b or --batch
Run in batch mode. In batch mode no input is read
from standard input
-i or --interactive
Run in interactive mode. In intteractive mode input
(commands or text) is read from standard input.
When in command mode (the default) a readline based
Lisp read-eval-print command interpreter is
presented.
--server
Run in server mode. Any file arguments are loaded
9and interpreted, before going into server mode. In
server mode Festival waits for clients on port 1314
(by default). Note server mode can give unauthor-
ised access to your machine, please read the section
in the manual entitled Server/client API before
using this mode.
--tts Run in tts mode. All files argument are treated
as text files to be said. Unless interactive mode

is explicitly specified no input is read from stan-
dard input, unless no files are specified.

welsh. Select that language for basic operation,

with the command select_language.

More than you can imagine.
A manual with much detail (though not complete) is available
in info (or html) format.
