Finally, I managed to program a set of handy shortcuts to control TextAloud while reading the news in Firefox. No more mousing up to TextAloud toolbar buttons is needed. A simple AutoHotKey script does the job nicely.
Code: Select all
; More than one tab must be open in Firefox for the mouse clicks on this code to hit their target.
SetTitleMatchMode, 2
#IfWinActive, Firefox
; Stop TextAloud
#¡::
MouseClick, left, 142, 125
Sleep, 100
return
; Pause TextAloud
#'::
MouseClick, left, 119, 123
Sleep, 100
return
; Speak
~LButton & Space::
KeyWait Space
MouseClick, left, 85, 125
Sleep, 100
return
If you wonder what is AutoHotKey, let me suggest you to read a couple of articles about the subject in LifeHacker blog and if you want to fullly undestand the code above, then study the Turotial (quick start) from the program's help file.
