| tts | textstring |
| textstring | Specifies a string of text to be synthesized into speech ( ... the current TTS server will be used to perform the synthesis). |
tts synthesizes the textstring parameter; that is, it ``speaks'' the text specified by textstring over the current audio device (e.g., telephone, microphone, etc.). The parameter ``textstring'' may include quoted Tcl variables (cf. the ``Synthesizing system prompts'' section of this manual for examples of valid specifications for the textstring parameter).
no return (as of this writing)
As noted above for more information on valid entries for the textstring parameter see the ``Synthesizing system prompts'' section of this manual.
