Re: Konqueror Gets Text-to-Speech Synthesis

This was just a quick hack - to copy the Babel fish plugin as much as possible.

I know no C++ or Qt - any help on making this better would be appreciated.

You could help by telling me howto associate a keystroke with the plugin - so that Ctrl-A, Keystroke would start reading.

Also - you could tell me enough C++ to put the KProcess in class scope and allow a second action to stop reading. It'd be better than killall audsp for stopping.

Thanks
George Russell

Isn't it funny how much you can with a *quick hack* in KDE these days? Good job!

This seems similar to my KTalkEdit app from last year (for those who don't know, it's kedit hacked to support Festival). We ought to try to work together to come up with something a bit more general that we could use throughout KDE.

See my plugins tutorial on developer.kde.org for this (you can find it by searching for previous articles on the Dot). Basically, you just call setAccel() on the action you want to add a key binding to.

Offhand this would look like a good feature in klipper, but if you can't see what you select in the first place then what's the point. -:)

It'd be nice to see a standard kde wide ability to read a text selection / HTML view aloud.

Of course, I can't actually write this ;-)
