About

The marytts-cli command-line client for the MaryTTS Text-to-Speech System is a handy tool for experimenting with the TTS server itself and for simplifying the automation process of regular TTS tasks.

It performs a query to the HTTP server of MaryTTS with a range of configurable parameters and returns the server's response. Input data for the query is read from stdin while parameters are set by invoking their corresponding command-line arguments.

If the query was successful, received output data is written to stdout and the program terminates with exit code 0. Otherwise, an error message is written to stderr and the program terminates with exit code 1.
