'''FreeTTS''' is a text-to-speech engine written in Java, available from http://freetts.sf.net/.

=Reading text into a WAV file=

The following command reads src.txt into dst.wav. For decoding purposes, it may be important to note that the produced file (on my system, anyway) is PCM, 16000Hz, mono, 16-bit.

java -jar /lib/freetts.jar -dumpAudio dst.wav -file src.txt

The parts involving [[cygpath]] are only required because the versions of [[SoX]] and [[Java]] I am running are the native Windows versions and require Windows filenames.
