Text To Speech
Purpose
Provides an OAA interface to Entropic's TrueTalk text to speech system.
Description
The Text To Speech Agent converts a text string or a text file into an
audio file or to audio sounds over the speaker of the machine running the
TTS agent. Actual processing is handled by a TTS server.
Resulting audio file format is in RAW mode for a Sun or SGI machine, depending
on how the TTS server is configured. This file should be played by sending
the data directly to /dev/audio.
