       Nobody asked for it, but I did it.The audio version of #OpenBSD cut(1) man page.This was a very difficult exercice, there are so many metadata embedded into a man page.You can listen to it here: https://videos.pair2jeux.tube/videos/watch/1f3bc2c3-7ec3-42f2-b9ed-c46259ce84caI can provide ogg file...

       @solene I hope this is the beginning of a delightful series of audio man-pages. :flan_cheer:

       @ed1conf @solene Audio man pages? I mean, one could just pipe them through espeak for that. Or is there something I'm missing?

       @devinprater @solene I think the benefits would be1) having a human voice (espeak is passable but far from pleasant)2) that the content would be rearranged for the purpose of making it clearer, perhaps something like "To specify the fields you want, use the dash-f option followed by the list of fields you want" rather than the verbatim "dash-f  list  the list specifies fields".

       @ed1conf @devinprater @solene Well you could replace espeak with [url=https://mimic.mycroft.ai/]mimic[/url], which is much better. and still gatris & libre software (I actually use the classic version for reading some texts from time to time)In the proprietary ones (available on linux and maybe BSDs) which are a bit better there is Voxygen but I haven’t tried it recently.

       @lanodan Nice, I haven't heard of mimic or Voxygen before (I know there were some licensing issues with Mbrola voices which were more listenable than espeak's). Time to go check my package repos for mimic. Thanks!
