I just started to play with say synthetizer, but I'm a bit confusing about how to use the available options. The Introduction to Amiga 500 manual say to type the option in the phoneme window, but it do nothing. How have I to type it? I tried -f, f, F, -F ( for a female voice) and nothing work. I know I have to change the pitch after a voice change, but it didn't work either. Under Shell, the only way it worked is in a line like >say -f text.txt. In this case, how can I use two or more options at the same time? * Gelson Dias Santos * Bitnet/Internet: GELSON@SBU.UFRGS.ANRS.BR * * * Sorry, english is not my native language! * * BRAZIL * (Alguem fala portugues?) *

You must type it into the text input window. Every line that starts with a "-" is considered such a control input to make it different from normal text input. -- Best regards, Dr. Peter Kittel // E-Mail to \\ Only my personal opinions...

One is to use command line arguements like this: cli>say foo Amiga will say "foo". You can also supply the -p -s (etc.) options, as: cli>say -p200 foo Amiga will say "foo" with a pitch of 200. You can also put those options, along with the words to be spoken, into a file, and use the -x option. Like: cli>say -x speech.txt Amiga will read the file 'speech.txt'. The second way to use say is just to type 'say' at the cli prompt without any options. There is also an icon for the say program. In this case, 2 windows will open, and you can just type text and optional settings into one of the windows. The other window gives the translated phonetic code which the speak: (talk: ? (narrator: ?)) device takes as input. I think you can also do something like: cli>copy speech.txt to narrator: or, cli>type speech.txt > narrator: But I'm no authority. If I'm wrong, somebody write.
