   "description" : "Little class I made two years ago to generate buffers out of the speech synthesis engine in Mac OS X.\r\nIf there is something similar from the command line in Linux or windows, should be easy to adapt the command for those platforms.\r\nOne of the first things one learn as SC beginner is \"bla bla\".speak and it is a lot of fun. But one of the most common problems is: one wants to use that command in SynthDefs. If you like the speech synthesizer now you can turn it into a buffer and use it as you wish.\r\n\r\nUsage:\r\n\r\nb = SpeechBuffer(\"I am Super... Collider\", 3); // string, voice\r\n\r\nb.play;\r\n\r\nplay{ PlayBuf.ar(1, b, BufRateScale.kr(b) * 0.5, loop:1)!2 }\r\n\r\nAnd you have to clean up your rendering directory with:\r\n\r\nSpeechBuffer.cleanUp // or: SpeechRender.cleanUp\r\n\r\nIf maybe someone want, this could be turned into a Quark (?)\r\nHave fun!",
