   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.

  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:
