+SYNOPSIS
+========
+
+picospeaker [*-options*] <*text*>
+
+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+
+PicoSpeaker is a program written in Python that speaks text on its
+command line or standard input using SVox Pico (**pico2wave**\(1)) and
+**sox**\(1). Speech rate, pitch, volume and language can be specified,
+and output can be saved to any file format supported by **sox**, or
+sent directly to the audio device.
+
+OPTIONS
+=======
+
+**-l**, **--language** *language*
+ Language to speak (default is *en-US*). Available languages are
+ *en-US*, *en-GB*, *de-DE*, *es-ES*, *fr-FR* and *it-IT*. These may
+ be abbreviated to the two-letter code (e.g. *en*).
+
+**-v**, **--volume** *number*
+ Output volume (default is 1.0).
+
+**-r**, **--rate** *number*
+ Rate of speech from -90 to 9900 (default is 0). This is a percentage, offset by 100 (so -90 is 10% original speed, 100 is 2x).
+
+**-p**, **--pitch** *number*
+ Voice pitch (semitones) from -79 to 39 (default is 0).
+
+**-o**, **--output** *file*
+ Output to the specified file (default is sound card output).
+
+**-c**, **--compress**, **-q**, **--quality** *number*
+ Compression/quality level of output file, depends on file type. This option causes an error if no output file is specified.
+
+**-t**, **--type** *type*
+ Save output file as *type*. Only needed if saving with a nonstandard extension. This option causes an error if no output file is specified.
+
+**-V**, **--version**
+ Print version information.
+
+**-h**, **--help**, **-u**, **--usage**
+ Print built-in help message.
