NAME
       festival - a text-to-speech system.

SYNOPSIS
       festival [options] [file0] [file1] ...

DESCRIPTION
       Festival is a general purpose text-to-speech system.  As well as simply
       rendering text as speech it can be used in an interactive command  mode
       for testing and developing various aspects of speech synthesis technol‐
       ogy.

       Festival has two major modes, command and tts  (text-to-speech).	  When
       in  command  mode  input (from file or interactively) is interpreted by
       the command interpreter.	 When in tts mode input is rendered as speech.
       When  in	 command mode filenames that start with a left paranthesis are
       treated as literal commands and evaluated.

       More than you can imagine.

       A  manual  with	much detail (though not complete) is available in dis‐
       tributed as part of the system and is also accessible at
       http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/projects/festival/manual/

       Although we cannot guarantee the time required to fix  bugs,  we	 would
       appreciated it if they were reported to
       festival-bug@cstr.ed.ac.uk
