| 2 | ** Description |
| 3 | This directory contains files necessary to execute the bash script |
| 4 | ~bkipas~. |
| 5 | |
| 6 | The file ~lexconvert.py~ is a python3 script referenced by [[https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng/issues/539#issuecomment-536192362][this]] post |
| 7 | in the eSpeak github discussion forum. The file may be obtained at |
| 8 | [[https://github.com/ssb22/lexconvert][this]] git repository. Only the required file is kept in this |
| 9 | directory. ~lexconvert.py~ converts an argument IPA string into |
| 10 | "eSpeak's phoneme mneumonics" that may be passed via stdout to an |
| 11 | ~espeak~ command. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | The bash script ~bkipas~ performs the ~lexconvert.py~, ~espeak~, |
| 14 | and ~oggenc~ commands in order to produce an Ogg Vorbis file. An |
| 15 | example of such a command group is: |
| 16 | |
| 17 | : $ python3 lexconvert.py --phones2phones unicode-ipa espeak "təˈmeɪtoʊ" | espeak --stdout | oggenc -o /tmp/tomato.ogg - |
