The command "flite" is a speech synthesis tool that generates speech from the provided input.

Here is an explanation of the different parts of the command:

  • -voice ${select}: This specifies the voice to be used for speech synthesis. The variable ${select} should be replaced with the name or identifier of the desired voice.
  • -f ${filename-txt}: This option specifies the input text file from which the speech is generated. The variable ${filename-txt} should be replaced with the name of the text file.
  • -o ${output-wav}: This option specifies the output file name and format for the generated speech. The variable ${output-wav} should be replaced with the desired name of the output WAV file.

In summary, this command uses the "flite" tool to generate speech by providing a text file as input, selecting a specific voice, and saving the synthesized speech as a WAV file.
