The program takes as input a phonetic transcription and a fundamental frequency contour and produces an audio signal. The input can come from an input AN item and FX item or from a .PHO file as used by the MBROLA diphone synthesis system. Output is direct to the audio output, or to an SFS file.
Here is an example for you to try:
_ 50 t 95 0 150 e 133 0 150 99 110 s 150 t 135 0 110 _ 50
-I Identify program name and version number.
-i item Select input AN and FX items.
-m mbrola.pho Take input from MBROLA format .PHO file.
-d diphonedb Select the name of the diphone database to use for synthesis.
