Use Cases
Read sensitive data
The following command can read and process sensitive files and redirects the output to a file..
say -f /home/user/sensitive-files -i > loot.txt;
Collect clipboard data
The command is designed to enhance privacy by muting the system volume,using a less recognizable “Whisper” voice with the “say” command, processing the copied text in the clipboard, and saving the output to a file named “loot.txt.”
osascript -e 'set volume output muted true' ; say $(pbpaste) -i > loot.txt;
