Hi,

Your project is my go-to PDF Viewer. 

I am playing with some TTS tools and there are now some nice projects springing up. I'm thinking if there was a way to push the text of a PDF , or maybe a text selection from a PDF into a script, then we could have the system read that portion out loud.

Is this possible?

If not, my suggestion would be a hook so that the Ctrl-C, select text would have an additional option to "Read text out loud". You'd then take that text and pass it to a userdefined script.

Thanks!!
Mark
