NAME

kinetophone_vox - command line narration tool using speech synthesis  

SYNOPSIS

kinetophone_vox --help

kinetophone_vox input_session_file output_session_file [ sound_file ] [ flags ]  

DESCRIPTION

The kinetophone_vox program generates voice-over narration for images using speech synthesis. The program is part of the Kinetophone sound recording and narration system. The input session file is in the same format as generated by exporting from the Kinetophone narrator program (which can be used to generate this file).

Kinetophone vox generates a sound file which is synthesized from the notes for each slide, as well as an output session file containing the appropriate timings for each generated segment. The output sound file and session file are suitable for use with the Kinetophone builder program to create video footage.

The program accepts a PDF file directly as the input session file, just specify the PDF as the first argument or use -I (--input-session-file) <PDF file>. You must use the -S (--input-session-file-is-PDF) option, however, so vox knows it is a PDF file. Vox generates audio from text annotations for each page in the PDF file.

 

OPTIONS

Use kinetophone_vox -h to get a complete list of command line and configuration file options.  

CONFIGURATION FILE

By default, if you have a ~/.kinetophone file the program will parse it for options. This file is used among all the programs in the Kinetophone project. You can also specify a configuration file with -i or --config on the command line. Options should be specified one per line, with the same syntax as the command line except for any leading dashes. For example, when the following line is present in the configuration file:

verbose=yes

Kinetophone vox will output detailed information when generating the output files.  

OPTION PRECEDENCE

You may specify (valid) combinations of command line and configuration file options. Command line options override configuration file options.  

EXIT STATUS

Exits with 0 on success, non-zero (the Kinetophone error code) on failure.
