MVOICE(2) MVOICE(2)
NAME
mvoice - machine dependent voice support to speak text
SYNOPSIS
include "mvoice.m";
mvoice := load Mvoice Mvoice->PATH;
init: fn(): string;
speak: fn(text: string): string;
DESCRIPTION
The function init initializes the module. Call it first.
Speak uses the host speech support to speak text out loud.
It returns a null string when successful, or the error
string otherwise.
This is a host-dependent module. Refer to the source section
to see the supported platforms. The file server voice(4)
uses this facility and can be used as an example.

BUGS
Punctuation symbols are not handled properly, because of the
syntax used by the underlying command. Has been tested only
with simple sentences.
