Hi,

| /usr//bin/festival --tts |

does work. However, I wonder if it is not possible to extricate just the body
with an appropriate setting, instead of having to select it. There should be
something in there, since the body is an option used for searching?

Many thanks again for your suggestion! This is definitely a huge step in the
right direction!!

Best wishes!
