+SYNOPSIS
+========
+
+flite [*-options*] [*text/file*] [*wavefile*]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+
+Converts text in *text/file* to a waveform in *wavefile*.
+
+If *text/file* contains a space, it is treated as a literal
+text string and spoken, and not as a file name. If *text/file*
+is omitted or **-**, text will be read from standard input.
+
+If *wavefile* is unspecified or **play**, the result is
+played on the current systems audio device. If *wavefile*
+is **none**, the waveform is discarded (good for benchmarking).
+
+Any other options must appear before *text/file* and/or *wavefile*.
+
+The full documentation for **flite** can be read as a GNU
+info file with the command **info flite**, or as HTML in
+*/usr/doc/flite-|version|/html/index.html*.
+
+OPTIONS
+=======
+
+.. notice the **-opt** *param* stuff? rst's option recognition
+.. can't handle non-GNU-style options like -option (it thinks the
+.. option is -o, and the ption is the parameter). So we have to help
+.. it out a little.
