Synopsis

filter [--version --help]

Description

The GNU Talkfilters are filter programs that convert ordinary English text into text that mimics a stereotyped or otherwise humorous dialect. Each program reads from standard input and writes to standard output.

Since the filters do word and substring substitution on the text they process, any word-wrap formatting of the original text will not be preserved. Use the wrap filter to word-wrap the output of a talk filter.
