Description: Speech interface to chatterbox, using festival server for the text-to-speech processing. You need to have the festival daemon running and install the Speech::Festival module.

Since it's based on ZZamboni's Chatterbox Client you will need to download his module as well.

# Use:
#  monktalk.pl -l Username
#      Asks for your password. Stores cookies in ~/.pm-cookie.
#      This is only necessary the first time you use it. After that it
+ uses
#      the cookie automatically.
# Type messages to send
# Type /checkoff <number> to remove personal messages (this is the equ
+ivalent
#  of checking on them in the web page).

    Just FYI.. I showed this to Kevin Lenzo (one of the Festival people) since it is always good to know how your software is being used. And he said 'neato!'. Just thought you would like to know the feedback :)

    Cheers,
