Speak is the Word.

[Jessica2]

Hello all,

I've 'trawled' and 'looked', and the problem has been addressed, in a way, but never expanded!

'The TextAloud Word Tool Bar!' -> Brilliant -> 'Speak from Cursor' and 'Read All! ... Works fine when accessed with the mouse! - But when I'm working on my text the last thing I want to do is take my hands off the keyboard. It's become an obsession to such an extent that I wont use the mouse for anything. I've assigned CTRL- Alt Key combinations to all the options I need, and use, and what's not covered by the CTRL - Alt key, is completed by a Macro.

The question:

Is there any way to assign a 'local' hot key to these buttons?

I've tried to write a macro, but the properties and methods of the tool bar don't seem to be available?

Any one?

Currently, none of the TextAloud toolbars have the ability to let you define keyboard shortcuts ('local' hotkeys) for toolbar buttons. This comes up quite a bit, and we're planning to add this in a future release.

I looked at seeing if it was possible to get this to work via a macro, but I wasn't able to figure out how to do it.
