flite: Specify which voice to use.
$ flite -voice ${select}
try on your machine
The command "flite -voice ${select}" is specifically used in the Unix-like operating system to invoke the Flite Text to Speech (TTS) synthesis engine with a particular voice selected.
Here's the breakdown of the command:
- "flite": It is the command to execute the Flite TTS engine.
- "-voice": It is a flag/option used to specify the voice to be used for speech synthesis.
- "${select}": It is a variable or argument that represents the voice selected for the synthesis. The value of this variable determines the voice that will be used by Flite.
In other words, this command calls the Flite TTS engine, instructing it to utilize a specific voice variant as designated by the value of the "${select}" variable.
