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.
