flite: Convert a text string to speech.
$ flite -t "${string}"
try on your machine

The command "flite -t "${string}"" is a command-line instruction that uses the program "flite" to convert text to speech.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "flite": represents the name of the program or command that is being executed. In this case, it refers to a text-to-speech synthesis program called flite.

  • "-t": is an option or flag used with the "flite" command. It is followed by the input text that needs to be converted into speech.

  • "${string}": is a placeholder that represents a variable or input value. The actual text that needs to be converted to speech should be placed in the "string" variable. The "${}" notation is used to reference the value of the variable.

By running this command with a specific "string" value, the text provided in the variable would be processed by "flite" which would then convert it into speech output.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
