19 !!DESCRIPTION
20
21
22 Festival is a general purpose text-to-speech system. As well
23 as simply rendering text as speech it can be used in an
24 interactive command mode for testing and developing various
25 aspects of speech synthesis technology.
26
27
28 Festival has two major modes, command and tts
29 (text-to-speech). When in command mode input (from file or
30 interactively) is interpreted by the command interpreter.
31 When in tts mode input is rendered as speech. When in
32 command mode filenames that start with a left paranthesis
33 are treated as literal commands and evaluated.
