+.SH NAME 
+.PP
+\fBspeak\fP - send output to text-to-speech service.
+.PP 
+.SH SYNOPSIS 
+.PP 
+\fBspeak\fP [\fIhostname\fP]
+.PP 
+.SH DESCRIPTION 
+.PP
+The Text-to-speech package introduces a standard TCP/IP port service for
+attaching text-to-speech resources to your network.  These resources can
+be used to monitor system status, provide verbal alarms, etc.  This network
+service may be accessed by telnetting to a machine running a "speak" server,
+or by using the various application utilities, such as \fBspeak\fP.
+.PP
+ 
+The \fBspeak\fP program will capture and redirect all standard input to the 
+network speech server, such as \fBspo256\fP, running either on the 
+local machine ("\fIlocalhost\fP"), or to the server running on the host 
+specified as a  command line argument. \fBspeak\fP is normally used to 
+terminate a pipe, such as in "\fIcat filename | speak\fP".  The TCP service
+port used for the connection is specified in \fI/etc/services\fP.
+
+.PP
+While most of the text-to-speech programs are separately written, the
+\fBspeak\fP program is normally an alias for the actual server itself,
+such as the \fBspo256\fP program.  This was intentional, as future 
+versions of speak may drive hardware directly in an alternate usage 
+(such as "\fIspeak /dev/ttyxx\fP"), as well as redirecting output to a named 
+host.
