Package: espeak Version: 1.48.04+dfsg-7 Severity: minor
Hello maintainers..! There's two ways to have espeak read from stdin: - running it with no arguments, which makes it speak every line; and - running it with the --stdin flag, which makes it read a text file (viz. multi-line text) from stdin until the EOF, and then speak it all at once. I found out the difference between the two because, I wanted to pipe edbrowse, an interactive program, to espeak to make it speak out every new line of output - so I read the manpage of espeak for flags to use stdin, since some other programs in Debian require a flag. I figured out after a while to not use that flag but, it'd be nice if the manpage added a sentence or two in the description for the --stdin flag mentioning this different behaviour from no-argument espeak. Thank you!
