It starts speaking from the start if I press this and this key. Is anyone here working on or wanting such a feature? I mean it should be so much easier to text to speech our text based unicode console, than what MacOSX is doing, by tracking screen changes intelligently inside newcons in the kernel, and feeding that into a character device, that to espeak or whatever can read it. --HPS
