Subject: voicebox.ksh

voicebox.ksh

I didn't include the script. Here is my second try.

Hello all:
Here is a ksh script which will build those _dirname.talk and [filename].talk files we have all come to love. It Uses lame and
festival.

Please let me know if you use it. I will accept bug reports and modification requests.

It seems to work fine on my linux machine on my iaudio x5l.

Terry
