Suggestion: Option to repeat each sentence x times

[Aromor]

An option to repeat each sentence x number of times is really helpful when listening to a foreign language or when listening in a noisy/distracting environment. If you miss something the first time, you can then concentrate and hear it better the second time. Also good for learning pronunciation of difficult words.

Highlight sentence. Then pressing Ctrl+Alt+C lets you listen as many times as you please. When finished, press F9.

In addition to 'loop speak' described in previous post, there is a new feature in TextAloud 4 that allows you to repeat text a fixed number of times then continue on with the remaining text. It is implemented as a "Repeat" tag, under the Insert Tags menu. To use the new tag, select the text you would like to repeat, then from the menu click Insert Tags -> Repeat -> Prompt For Number of Repeats. After entering a repeat count, TextAloud will wrap the selected text in a repeat tag. For example:

{{Repeat=2}}This text is spoken two times.{{/Repeat}}

Let me know if you have questions about using this.

Hello,

my simple solution for this problem (in german language) is with Regualar Expressions:

Text matching:Regular Expressions:
(\b.*?[)\w-,äöüAÖÜ1-90]{4,}[.])+

Pronounce using: Respell:
$0 (for 1xtime repeating every senstence)

Case Sensitive: Yes

I don't know of any limits or common values being used. If you use the {{repeat}} tag and run into an upper limit or any other problems please let me know.
