I have uploaded a short command line porgram in C that provides flexible voice alerts,
like reading out numbers.

 * This is essentially a program that plays concatenated sound files of words with
 * some special treatment for numbers.  As such, it only can speak words that have
 * corresponding sound files.  Numbers are spoken by concatenating digit sounds.
 * The program is very simple and low overhead, but should be quite usable for
 * applications that need only limited vocaburary.  This has been written to
 * provide voice alerts for monitoring experimental parameters in a biology lab.
 * (Commands come from remote devices via rsh.)
 *
 * Usage examples:
 *        saystring "temperature #39.4 degrees is too high"
 *        saystring "our phone number is #6 #4 #2 _ #6 #4 #4 #0"

It is a one-night hack and not a general text-to-speech thing, so don't expect
too much of it.  You have to prepare a set of sound files for all words you need.

Look for file saystring.c on sonata.cc.purdue.edu or cs.orst.edu.  It is currently
in the submissions directory.
