			Also note that this example is using ''winsound'' for playback, and it's not cross-platform.


			This is probably not the most time-efficient approach, but the major limitation comes from VOICEPEAK which doesn't have a stream output option (also understandable).

			== Thoughts ==
			When limited to 140 words (characters, in fact, I guess),and if the upstream content (text) provider function / program can pre-process the text to speak, turn it into smaller chunks, short sentences, phrases etc., Command line VOICPEAK is not that slow.

			One thing to notice is that the command line execution is languishedly slow, probably because an unseen GUI gets initiated and terminated every time '''voicepeak.exe''' is called. I don't know the details but it is painfully slow.

			Some further breakdown on the options and arguments:

			'''-s, --say Text''': The Text part is essentially a string. Reference [https://takashiski.hatenablog.com/entry/2023/01/13/235249 #1] says the maximum length is 140 characters (probably determined by Twitter, just a wild guess) so generally nothing comically long.

			'''-t, --text File''': Basically the same with '''-s''', but reads a text file for the text to speak.

			'''-o, --out File''': Specifies the name (path) of the output file. If not supplied, the default is 'output.wav' at the current (shell) directory.

			'''-n, --narrator Name''': Specifies the narrator (character). I think this defaults to 'the first one in the narrator list' but I have only 1 narrator in Koharuri so I don't know.

			'''-e, --emotion Expr''': Emotion ratios. Only works if the narrator (manually selected or default) is compatible with the given emotions. Note that Koharuri has totally different emotion names than the standard 6 nameless voices.I'll list these in another section in this page

			'''--list-narrator''': Returns a list of available, locally installed Narrators. The names can and should be used when a Narrator is required as an additional argument, such as in '''-n, --narrator'''.

			'''--list-emotion Narrator''': Returns a list of all possible emotion handle / variable names / tags / you name it for the given Narrator.

Apparently, neither AHS nor Dreamtonics bothers giving an extensive documentation / manual for using VOICEPEAK without the GUI. For comparison, [https://github.com/voicevox/voicevox VOICEVOX] doesn't do great but at least you can get a grip scavenging through what they have in the repo.

So, half of this is translation of the aforementioned Japanese blogs, the other half is what I found out by trying.
