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 \fBsay\fP. +.PP + +The \fBsay\fP program will send a specified string of text to a specified +network speech server. The intent is to use say to produce verbal output +much like the way "echo" may be used to create screen output. \fBsay\fP +will form a momentary connection with the speech server (such as +\fBspo256\fP), send the message, and then disconnect. The TCP +service port used for the connection is specified in \fI/etc/services\fP. + +.PP +.SH SEE ALSO +.PP +.BR speak (1) +.PP +.SH AUTHOR +.PP +David Sugar (dyfet@tycho.com) +.PP |
