Voice file play: vceplay

Plays voice files. The user interface from keyboard or touch-tones allows control of pause or resume, forward or rewind, louder or softer, and faster or slower. Refer to Playing for more information.

Usage

vceplay [options] filename [additional filenames]

where options are:

Option

Use this option to...

Specify the board number. Default = 0.

-e encoding

Specify the encoding of the file. This option is needed only for flat files. -e? displays a list of choices.

-m start [:end]

Specify the message or messages to play. If only start is specified, then only that message is played. If end is also specified, then all messages from start to end, inclusive, are played.
