JC and I have added mtalk to our sf2a — solfege to audio — distribution. Once installed, you can do this:
% mtalk 'Please get me a quart of milk at \ the store. Thanks.' -p -t tempo:144
The option -p means “play the audio file immediately,” and -t temp:144 sets the temp. Here is what the result sounds like:
Please get me a quart of milk at the store. Thanks.
This little programming project (we have to get our fun somehow:-) was inspired by James Gleick’s book, The Information. See previous post
