SYNOPSIS
========
pico2audio [*-l <language>*] [*words*]
DESCRIPTION
===========
**pico2audio** is a shell script wrapper for **pico2wave**. It renders text to
speech and plays it using the **play** command.
If a *-l <language>* option is given, it will be passed to pico2wave. See
**pico2wave**\(1) for details.
If *words* are given, they are used as input. Unlike the pico2wave command,
there's no requirement to quote multiple words. If no *words* are given,
words are read from standard input.
Exit status is that of **pico2wave**.
EXAMPLES
========
Examples:
pico2audio Hello world.
Speaks "Hello world" in the default language (en-US).
pico2audio -l en-GB Hello world.
As above, in a British accent.
fortune -s | pico2audio
Reads from standard input.
pico2audio < /etc/motd
Speak a text file. Don't forget the **<** or it says the filename instead.
