guys,
if goog had their browser from BSD it would help big-time; I use one of the
zillions of linux distros for my desktop. I dont have a bleeding edge
cell. just something to call the cops or "access" [ small bus with wchair
lift.] only have one hand, so cant easily hold cell and "type" blah * 3.
SO, the upshot is, since I use firefox mostly, and chrome, rarely, I got a
bit befuddled tonight trying to read an old philosopher's translation on
chrome. I got to fess-up. reading on the screen is vastly easier than
getting out a REAL book and paperweights, and taking off my eyeglasses,
&C! tonight, I figured out howto enlarge the font and bring up the book.
--i read "the prince" by nick whatever. this on google's browser. it
took awhile before I realized that I wasnt hearing the words! yes, the
speaker in the circle [[upper right]] read aloud and I could glean
that much more by reading with eyes and ears. ===but=== is there some
magic I ca n use to do an "All", and then fire off the text-to-voice?
<CAUTION>
[[[the following is interesting only if you're into art schopenhauer.
his works were not correctly xlated until {i think} 1954. I bought the
p'back of his *Parerga and Paralipomena: A Collection of Philosophical
Essays*. I never read it. google has it, and I suppose I could cough pup
$whatever. but only if they got their tts stuff working without me having to
mouse 600+ pages or whatever it requires. ]]]
</CAUTION>
anybody know howto make this All menu cmd work in chrome? in ffox, it's
a simple edit->control-A
thanks much,
gary
