.TH ksayit 1

.SH NAME
ksayit \- A Text-to-speech front-end to kttsd.

.SH SYNOPSIS
.B ksayit [file]
.I [ Generic Options] [Qt-options] [TDE-options]

.SH DESCRIPTION
KSayIt is a small utilitiy for TDE that simply speaks a given textfile 
in a very high quality, i.e. sound and pronounciation of the spoken 
text should be as natural as possible. KSayIt uses natively 
Text-To-Speech systems like MBrola, any TTS system that can be 
controlled via a command line or any TTS system that is supported by 
the TTS system (i.e. Festival). KSayIt offers three user interfaces: 
A simple text editor window in which you can enter or paste text that 
should be spoken after pressing a play button, as well as an icon 
in the systemtray that starts to speak by a single mouseclick the 
actual content of the clipboard. As a TDE application it offers also a 
DCOP interface for the say and shut-up action. Finally KSayIt provides 
an effectstack to postprocess the sound of the voice (currently only a 
Freeverb effect is included)
