#Alice requires an original.txt file on the directory you're running it from.
#Alice will read the file and then type it (a line followed by an enter, then the next line).
#This way you can send the file contnent on a chat, for example, each line on a message.
#You can also tell Alice to wait some time between a line and the other.
#The first line will be written 10 seconds after you run Alice and tell the time between a line and the other,
#this way you have time to select the place where you want to input your text.
