Using the bot

Run the bot as an interactive session

(wiktrola)$ wiktrola

The form questions:

Question 1 - What is the title of the Wikipedia page you want to convert?

The bot will then display all Wikipeida pages related to that title.

If your title matches a page in the list, the bot will then create an audio file for that page.

Be patient as the bot may take a while to create the audio file.

The audio file will open in your browser
