Caveats

A suite of global programs, available as part of the saytools package, are available to help users customize their use of the  say  command. For more information about advanced customization for the  say  program, consult the  saytools  page.

Dialogue messages can also be communicated via the  pose  command, if you need to speak and perform actions at the same time. For more information and examples on using  pose  to communicate both actions and text, consult the  pose  page.
