Class SpeakPlugin

java.lang.Object
  org.wcb.plugins.speech.SpeakPlugin

public class SpeakPlugin

extends java.lang.Object

The Speak plugin sort of determines that it is available to the system and if that is the case it will go ahead and allow speach to take place. When the program sends a command to the x10 module through the x10 interface certain words in the text will be anounceated such as ON A 1. This is more or less a verbal que.
