speak word to voice translator [ ] [ vocabulary [ output
] ] turns a stream of words into utterances and outputs them
to a voice synthesizer, or to the specified It has
facilities for maintaining a vocabulary. It receives, from
the standard input working lines: text of words separated by
blanks phonetic lines: strings of phonemes for one word
preceded and separated by commas. The phonemes may be
followed by comma-percent then a ‘replacement
part’ an ASCII string with no spaces. The phonetic
code is given in (V). empty lines command lines: beginning
with The following command lines are recognized: !r
file replace coded vocabulary from file !w file write
coded vocabulary on file !p print phonetics for
working word !l list vocabulary on standard output
with phonetics !c word copy phonetics from working
word to specified word !d print decomposition of
working word into substrings !f n turn off (or
on) English preprocessing rule number (see listing for
meaning of Each working line replaces its predecessor. Its
first word is the ‘working word’. Each phonetic
line replaces the phonetics stored for the working word. In
particular, a phonetic line of comma only deletes the entry
for the working word. Each working line, phonetic line or
empty line causes the working line to be uttered. The
process terminates at the end of input. Unknown words are
pronounced by rules, and failing that, are spelled. For the
builtin part of the rules, see the reference. Spelling is
done by taking each character of the word, prefixing it with
‘*’, and looking it up. Unspellable words burp.
Words not found verbatim in the vocabulary are pronounced
piecewise. First the word is bracketed by sharps:
‘#...#’. The vocabulary is then searched for the
longest fragment that matches the beginning of the word. The
phonetic part of the phonetic string is uttered, and the
matched fragment is replaced by the replacement part of the
phonetic string, if any. The process is repeated until the
word is exhausted. A fragment is entered into the vocabulary
as a working word prefixed by ‘%’. is

Space is not reclaimed from changed entries; use !w
and !r to effect reclamation.
!p doesn’t always work as advertised.
