Kusamakura
Natsume Soseki

While climbing Yamamichi, I thought like this.
If you work later If you let it go well, it will be washed away. It's a stubborn thing. Anyway, the human world is hard to live in.
When it becomes difficult to live, I want to move to a cheap place. When I find it difficult to live wherever I go, poetry is born and I can do it.

Execution method

./kusamakura01.py in01.txt

If you do the same with bash

#
perl -pe 's/\n/  /g' < in01.txt > tmp01.txt
#
open_jtalk \
        -x /var/lib/mecab/dic/open-jtalk/naist-jdic \
        -m /usr/share/hts-voice/mei/mei_normal.htsvoice \
        -r 1.0 \
        -ow ./out01.wav \
        tmp01.txt
#
aplay out01.wav
#

How to not create a wav file
