Re: Plugins for Google Chrome and Microsoft OneNote?

Any hope for a plug-in for Microsoft OneNote? I know there are multiple platforms for OneNote, but if you were choosing one, hard-core OneNote users prefer OneNote 2016 desktop. Many thanks.

Re: Set focus = TextAloud after using Read TextAloud hotkey

I still have an issue with the set focus to the TextAloud app after using a hotkey combination to import text to TextAloud 4. Article Options are set for 'Bring TextAloud Window to Foreground'. So I have to go and click to actually see the text highlighting wild been read in the TextAloud app. It's ...

Re: Speaking text boxes in Microsoft Word

I just realised the same behaviour occurs with footnotes in Microsoft Word. While they are spoken, TextAloud highlighting focuses somewhere else in the document. So it's another variant of the text box text highlighting issue.

Speaking text boxes in Microsoft Word

To get TextAloud 4 to speak text boxes in Microsoft Word, I highlight the text within the text box and then use the Speak Selected Text facility. While TextAloud correctly speaks the highlighted text in the text box, the highlighting jumps to an earlier part of the document, and as a result is compl...

Re: Set focus = TextAloud after using Read TextAloud hotkey

Thanks for the reply. Typically I'm using the hotkey "Import Text", to listen to text that cannot be read in the native application. While that hotkey does do the job of importing, and I have selected "When articles are added >Bring TextAloud Window to foreground", this is not ha...

Set focus = TextAloud after using Read TextAloud hotkey

I regularly use the Read TextAloud hotkey to copy text into the TextAloud UI. But I would like that hotkey to also set focus to the TextAloud window, so I don't have to go and find it after pressing the Read TextAloud hotkey. I thought I had that set up in TextAloud 3, but can't seem to recreate the...

Format preservation when importing text from PDF or other formats

For documents where we cannot listen directly within the native document, like a PDF, that requires importing the text into TextAloud, yet we need to follow the original document against the text being read, it would be immensely helpful if as much of the original text formatting and spacing could b...

Re: TextAloud Version 3.0.51 is available

Ever since installing Windows 8 I have experienced a repeated bug with TextAloud. Both while reading text within its programme and within Microsoft Word 2010, the reading will come to an abrupt halt, with the sound of a gramophone needle scraping across the record. The only way to restart TextAloud ...
