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;
