--0000000000005890ad05d6446ab2 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Hello, I have recently written a small script <https://github.com/ForrestHilton/supplementary-reader/> that provides text reader functionality. I will refrain from pasting the entire README, but what makes this different from things discussed in this list is 1) the keyboard shortcuts are available across the desktop 2) the program never provides a window or takes up any screen space 3) the program can work on images and pdfs 4) this is a text reader as opposed to a screen reader. I've just today joined this mailing list and only skimmed the archives. Is there an application that already provides this functionality? Is there a larger project that I can add this functionality to? I might be willing to rewrite the whole thing in another programming language if there is a reason. I am aware of a few sloppy things in this script but it works for now. --0000000000005890ad05d6446ab2 Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <div dir=3D"ltr">Hello,<div><br></div><div>I have recently written a <a hre= f=3D"https://github.com/ForrestHilton/supplementary-reader/">small script</= a> that provides text reader functionality.=C2=A0I will refrain from pastin= g the entire README, but what makes this different from things discussed in= this list is 1) the keyboard shortcuts are available across the desktop 2)= the program never provides a window or takes up any screen space 3) the pr= ogram can work on images and pdfs 4) this is a text reader as opposed to a = screen reader. </div><div><br></div><div>I've just today joined this ma= iling list and only skimmed=C2=A0the archives.
