a speech server for Festival lite

## NAME

eflite - a speech server for Festival lite

## SYNOPSIS

**eflite**

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **eflite** command. This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has documentation in /usr/share/doc/eflite/README\*

**eflite** is a program that is used as a backend for screen reader applications. It is usually not called by the user, instead it is invoked by the application which needs to output information via Festival Lite's speech synthesis engine.

## OPTIONS

This program does not have any options at this time. Instead, it's controlled by the data received via STDIN.
