[mary-users] Developer Question

[Ingmar Steiner]

Dear Matthew,

thanks for the clarification... =)

But it does bring up again the related issue of hooking MaryTTS up to 
OS-level accessibility frameworks (SAPI etc.), which is still on the 
wishlist... Then one might just click "Start speaking" or whatever and 
have MaryTTS read your selected text right PDFKit. But integrating this 
would be a project on its own...

Best wishes,

-Ingmar
