I can't use -play and -speak options together in the same time! #491

Closed mostafa20220 closed 1 year ago

I run the following command: trans -play -speak -b -s en -t ar "boy"

It works well and everything is great, but only the -speak option work, not both -speak and -play. Is this how the program supposed to work, or it's a problem with my machine?

I really appreciate any help you can provide.

Here is my info:

The -play and -speak are not supposed to be used together, since in the verbose (default) mode -play already includes both the original and the translated text:

trans -play -s en -t ar "boy"

A latter option will always override the former one, so in this case -speak overrides -play. Currently in the -b mode there is no way to pronounce both words in one single command.
