What about a text to speech feature?
Hi,
I've got an idea for evince.
I'm using a text to voice application for reading text in documents. I've got the routine that I copy text from the document to gEdit and save it in /tmp/text.txt . Then I run the command:
pico2wave --lang de-DE --wave /tmp/Test.wav < /tmp/text.txt ; play /tmp/Test.wav; rm /tmp/Test.wav
It is a routine, that is complicated. So how about this in evince:
- Mark the text in the document
- Right click
- Choose a menu "Read it"
- The command above is executed.
pico2wave is in the Debian package libttspico-utils.
What do you think about it? Isn't it a good idea?
