In reply to Konstantinos K. Bourdakos.

@Konstantinos,

Yes, it should be a --line flag, which set line wrap length.

Hi, The wrap needs --line flag, -l is being used for specifying the language. Thank you,

Add this zsh script with wikit for low tech A.I in your mac terminal. change the V1 variable to change the voice. Change v4 Variable to the file path you want to store temporary files. These files are deleted when the script stops running. Install espeak and replace say with its command for use in Linux.

#!/bin/bash
v1="Daniel"
v3="y"
v4="/Users/dickdollan/scripts/DarwinAi/result"
v5="sleep .5s"

repeat (){
    read -p "What Is/ Are: " v2
say -v $v1 "I Am searching for info on "$v2"" 
wikit $v2 > $v4"$v2".txt
say -v $v1 -f $v4"$v2".txt;$v5
rm $v4*.txt
}

say -v $v1 "Hello My Name Is Darwin";$v5;say -v $v1 "I Answer Questions In The Form of What Is"

repeat 

while [ $v3 == "y" ]
  do    
   say -v $v1 "Do you have another Question"
    read -p "y/n: " v3

      if [ $v3 == "n" ]
        then
          break
      fi 

    repeat

done

say -v $v1 "Goodbye"

There's a typo for installing it should be `npm install -g wikit`.

This has worked for me previously on Mint 19.3 but since a complete reinstall, this set of instructions has left me needing 'sudo' in front of every query. Can there be a simple solution?
