From a recent mail on the dev list:

==============================
Hi,
My name is vojtěch Polášek and I am a blind translator beginner from
Czech republic.
I am running Linux and OmegaT is probably the best choice for Linux users.
Although Java is not very blind friendly, I can use many OmegaT's
features without problems.
I am not a Java programmer, so I can't suggest you any improvmenets.
I just have and idea, which should be quite easy to implement.
When I am translating, I don't know if there is any full / partial match
for currently translated segment. I would have to press CTRL+TAB to
check the next text field and press SHIFT+TAB to go back. There is small
chance for getting a match at the begining of project, so this is rather
tedious and useless for me.
What about some very simple plugin, which would hook into OmegaT and it
would play a sound for example when there is a match?
Would it be difficult to create?
As I stated earlier I don't know anything about Java, so I won't be
probably able to write it on my own.
Could someone help me please?
Thank you for creating such useful and open source software,
Vojta

    Here's a groovy script that writes a text file either populated by current match (Source language, target language, source text of the match, target text of the match, match score — each on a new line), or by the text "No match for current segment" and opens the file in external program. This external program can be a script that runs TTS with different parameters (like correct language for source and target) taken from the produced text file. What I can't seem to achieve is running the code automatically each time the segment changes and therefore it needs to be run manually which isn't much better then the situation described in the RFE. I'm not much of a programmer, so this is just some stuff I pulled together from different places into a poorly working script.

    Yu Tang has created a plugin that will beep one time for each match available (i.e., if there are 3 matches, there will be 3 beeps).
