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:
