How to use:

Usage: python3 -m voxtalkz [input file, output file]

Converts play-like script to a .mp3 file Script file must be written in this manner:

#The first time a unknown name is called, instead of making the person talk, the name will be assigned to a person. 
Susan:normal_woman
#Then the person will "talk"
Susan:Hello, world!
#Comments are allowed!
*soundeffect_without_filename_extension

Effects can be applied by adding an @ symbol then the effect name, like so: person1:hello, world!@VOLUME=8 A second effect can be applied by using the pipe("|" Shift + backslash) like so: person1:Hello, World!@FADE|VOLUME=8

A sound effect can be used like this:

*footsteps

List of all effects:

@FADE | Fade to nothing
@FADE_IN | Fade in from silent
@OVERLAY | Overlays the sound onto what has already been recorded. Use @OVERLAY=VAR1 to START the overlay at the begining of where you assigned @VAR=1
@REPEAT= | Repeat audio segment however many times you specify. e.g. (normal_woman:Hello, world!@REPEAT=10) would produce Someone saying "Hello, world!" ten times
@VAR=    | Assign a number to a temporary table. Only used with @OVERLAY
@VOLUME= | Set volume change in decibels. A negitive number will reduce the volume
@PITCH=  | Set pitch change. e.g. "normal_woman:Hello, world!@PITCH=0.3" would make the person sound like a little girl, while "normal_woman:Hello, world!@PITCH=-0.3" would sound like an old woman
