flavor-text captures the flavor text of the currently viewed unit or item in Dwarf Fortress and writes it to a text file for external reading, such as with a text-to-speech (TTS) program.

My preferred TTS program is Voice Attack v2, but users can use other software to detect the txt file.

As a note, this is basically a replacement of the old forum-dwarves tool. That tool is currently "unavailable" and it might be appropriate to formally sunset/tombstone forum-dwarves if/when this is merged.
