💖 PARLATYPE(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual era — this is parlatype, and she's lowkey the most useful little thing you'll ever meet 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

parlatype — a minimal audio player for manual speech transcription 🦋

🎧 SYNOPSIS 🎧

parlatype [options] [file]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so parlatype is an audio player made for the GNOME desktop environment, no cap. and her whole main character purpose? manual transcription of spoken audio files. that's it, that's the vibe. you talk, she plays, you type. iconic behavior honestly 💅

✨ OPTIONS ✨

parlatype follows the usual GNU command line syntax, and long options start with two dashes (-). iykyk 🫶

• -h, --help — shows you a summary of the options, like a lil cheat sheet 💖
• -v, --version — shows the version of the program and then exits, periodt 👑
• file — this is the file that opens when parlatype starts up. and listen — only one file gets opened. any other file you throw at her is just gonna be ignored, fr fr 🙈

🌈 RETURN VALUE 🌈

she speaks in exit codes, and here's what each one means:

• 0 — normal termination, we love a clean exit ✨
• 1 — you invoked her with unknown options, oops 😭
• 2 — the GStreamer backend couldn't be initialized 💀
