Re: [NTLK] MacInTalk Only What I Want You to Speak!

I've got a little 3k app on mine called SpeakEasy that does exactly what you
are looking for. It just brings up a floating box containing the word
"Speak" and a close button. It will speak the current open item or any
selected text.

I think I got it from Newton-Underground a couple of years ago, but I can't
seem to find it anywhere now. Does anyone else know where to find
SpeakEasy?

hi Glenn,

do you use GestureLaunch or DashBoard? then you can route
selected text to TTS by using script like this:

local t := GetHilitedTextItems();
if t <> nil
  then
foreach item in t do PlaySound(item);
  else
begin
PlaySound("Duh, select some text first.");
end;

..or something alike. than you can use gesture (or letter
launcher in DB) to recite the selected text from anywhere.
