"say" terminal command - how to change emphasis

Hello

You may try using embedded speech commands in text, such as:

say -v "Markus" "Bitte besuchen Sie auch unsere Website unter www punkt apple punkt [[emph -]]com."

or

say -v "Markus" "Bitte besuchen Sie auch unsere Website unter www punkt apple punkt [[pbas 30]]com."

cf.

Speech Synthesis Programming Guide

Not tested, for I'm using OSX 10.6.8 where no voice named Markus is.

Good luck,

H

PS. The following commands demonstrate some tuning of Ralph's speech under 10.6.8.

say -v Ralph "dot com" say -v Ralph "dot [[emph -]]com" say -v Ralph "dot [[pbas 30]]com"

Hello

I've read that some new voices do not honour some embedded speech commands. I'm afraid it may be the case for Markus.

As an absurd workaround, you might try komm in lieu of com, like this:

say -v "Markus" "Bitte besuchen Sie auch unsere Website unter www punkt apple punkt [[cmnt com]]komm."

Good luck,

H
