User Commands ✨ the lil bridge between Speech Dispatcher and SpeakUp

okay so real talk, this is the speechd-up manual page from section 1, and it's giving "glue code but make it iconic". it sits in the middle of your setup and makes two whole programs talk to each other. no cap. 🫶

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

SpeechD-Up -- Interface between Speech Dispatcher and SpeakUp (GNU GPL) 🌈

here's the full rundown of every flag, bestie, and yes we're doing all of them, no skipping, periodt:

  • -d, --run-daemon — run it as a daemon, so it just chills in the background doing its thing 💤
  • -s, --run-single — run it as a single application instead, main character but solo 🧚
  • -l, --log-level — set the log level (1..5). pick your yap volume 📢
  • -L, --log-file — set the log file to a path, so all the receipts land in one place 📝
  • -D, --device — specify the device name of the Speakup software synthesis 🎀
  • -i, --language — set the default language for speech output 🗣️
  • -c, --coding — specify the default encoding to use 🔤
  • -t, --dont-init-tables — don't rewrite /proc tables for optimal software synthesis 🙈 (yes it really is spelled with no space in there, we don't make the rules)
  • -p, --probe — initialize everything and try to say some message but don't connect to SpeakUp. for testing purposes only, it's a lil dress rehearsal 🎭
  • -v, --version — report the version of this program, aka the "who even am i" flag ⭐
  • -h, --help — print this info. hi bestie, you found it 🫶
