.TH "say" "1" "January 1997" "Speak 0.2" "Text-to-Speech"
.PP
.SH NAME
.PP
\fBsay\fP - send output string to text-to-speech service.
.PP
.SH SYNOPSIS
.PP
\fBspeak\fP \fIhostname\fP "\fImessage\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 \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.
