= Purpose =
[[mlxspeaker]] is a utility which listens to the MIDAS [[Message System]] and pipes these messages to a speech synthesizer application. [[mlxspeaker]] is for a Linux based system, and interfaces to the Festival speech synthesis package.
The "Festival Speech Synthesis System" has to be installed prior the activation of the [[mlxspeaker]] utility.
 
= Note =
This [[mlxspeaker]] should be considered obsolete as the midas web server [[mhttpd]] provides a similar functionality through the <b> Web Speech API speechSynthesis </b>.
