13.4 azspeech synthesize
The synthesize command will generate spoken word audio, spoken by
a human sounding voice, from supplied text, and will play the audio on
the system’s default audio output. With -o
or --output
a wav
file can be specified as the output rather than having the audio
played through the speakers.
$ ml synthesize azspeech [sentence]
-f <file> --file=<file> Text to be spoken.
-l <lang> --lang=<lang>
-o <file.wav> --output=<file.wav> Save synthesized audio to file.
-v <voice> --voice=<voice>
