# Say Command The !say command allows you to send a text-to-speech message to be displayed on screen. The engine supports a few voices and has a few commands that can manipulate the appearance of the text on screen as well as how it sounds. ## Voices To change your voice, use the `[voice ]` command. ### appr-high My voice (and the default voice), pitched to mimic the voices from Animal Crossing. It pronounces your text phoneme-by-phoneme. ### apprehentice My voice, unpitched. This is useful for applying your own pitch modifications. It pronounces your text phoneme-by-phoneme. ### appr-low My voice, pitched down to mimic cranky villagers from Animal Crossing. It pronounces your text phoneme-by-phoneme. ### bebebese A soft popping sound that plays for every letter. Useful for adding a little character in the middle of other voices. ### silence No sound ### vox The Black Mesa Research Facility Automatic Diagnostic and Announcement System. This voice pronounces your text word-by-word. Visit [https://half-life-vox.com/](https://half-life-vox.com/) to test out a sentence before sending it to !say, but remember to remove underscores before sending it. ### scratch Record scratches, similar to the voices in the Katamari series. This voice speaks continuously until it runs out of text. ### sounds Uses keywords to embed sounds into the phrase. Text in this voice will not be displayed on screen. **Previews temporarily unavailable** Available sounds are: | Sound Name | Preview | | --- | --- | | bewoowoowoo | | | clothflap | | | explosion | | | fart1 | | | fart10 | | | fart11 | | | fart2 | | | fart3 | | | fart4 | | | fart5 | | | fart6 | | | fart7 | | | fart8 | | | fart9 | | | headknock | | | meow1 | | | meow2 | | | meow3 | | | meow4 | | | oof | | | quack | | | sirenwhistle | | | smallfart1 | | | smallfart10 | | | smallfart11 | | | smallfart12 | | | smallfart13 | | | smallfart2 | | | smallfart3 | | | smallfart4 | | | smallfart5 | | | smallfart6 | | | smallfart7 | | | smallfart8 | | | smallfart9 | | | toilet | | | trumpet | | | whistledown | | | whistleup | | ## Commands Commands are executed by wrapping the command and its parameters in square brackets (Ex. `[command param1 param2 ... paramN]`). Slick will attempt to validate commands before they’re processed, but there’s a chance it could fail to get to the overlay. If something doesn’t work, check your commands and try again. ### Frame **Usage**: \[frame \] Change the dialogue box in which your message appears.
