Re: Creating a Bash script to generate en.voice

Hi,
Awesome, thanks for filing the bug. I'll still keep going with the bash
scripts too. It is nice having the ability to just right click files and
generate .talk clips for them. I can upload the work I have done to
SendSpace if anyone is interestede in it. The scripts still need a
little work but they are useable.
Thanks
Storm
