#177 More text to speech functionality

[Ross McMorrow]

Hi, I love your software!

I am a regular user of Text-to-speech software (Textaloud €30 per single licence, Natural Reader $100 per single licence). Recently both these applications let me down when encountering ebooks, copyright protected PDF's and academic journal databases. This led me to your software.

I see your software is geared mainly to language translation. However, in my opinion, you have the potential here to have a really great text-to-speed solution. The only thing I see missing when compared to Textaloud and Natrual Reader is some extra control over the speech.

If your next version could add the following Hotkeys, it would be great.

1. Stop Reading (sometimes you dont want to listen all the way to the end)
2. Pause/Resume
3. Speech Rate +
4. Speech Rate –
   Also, it would be great if there were “Stop” and “Pause/Resume” buttons on the OCR Text window beside the “Say" and “OK” buttons.

Just a suggestion I feel worth mentioning to you.

Best regards
Ross
