Trying to get it working might be beyond my ability, but I'm willing to try.
My first step will be to learn javascript.  Do you know of a good online source for a newbie to start learning?
The code is already split up into parts, so that should make it easier to get something working eventually.  For example, the tts specific code is in it's own
bundle.
