::               else if <source> is "CONIN$" then the text to be spoken is read

::                then the content of the variable is the text to be spoken,
::               else <source> is the text to be spoken.
::               The text to be spoken may consist of
::               - plain text,

:: <volume>      Percentage (0..100) of the currently set system volume to be
::                used. The default is 100. Has no effect for .wav files played.
:: <rate>        Speaking rate (-10..10) of the text to be spoken. The default
::                is 0. Has no effect for .wav files played.
:: <priority>    Priority level (0..2) of the voice.
::                0 (default) Normal voice. Streams spoken by a normal voice are
::                  appended to the voice queue.
::                1 Alert voice. An alert voice will interrupt a normal voice
::                  for the time the alert voice speaks.
::                2 Over voice. Streams spoken by an over voice don't interrupt
::                  other voices, but are merged with the voices of lower

:: <voice name>  Unique part of the name attribute of the voice token to be used
::                (such like "Zira" or "David").
:: <gender>      Gender of the voice token (either "male" or "female").

::If all values of the specified options /n, /g, and /l match at least one
