# say

Use `say` to make your Mac speak a phrase.

The Mac Terminal command for text-to-speech is say. You type the command followed 
by the text you want the computer to speak. 

Basic Usage to speak a phrase with Bash: say -v Alex "Hello, world!"

This will make your Mac speak the phrase "Hello, world!" using the default system
voice.
