I have KTTS, Festival, and Kmouth all installed. I can select text in KPDF, right click, and there is a speak text option. Selecting that, it speaks the text. Question is, how do you do this with Kword, Konqueror, etc?
On the KDE desktop, or maybe use a panel button so it will not be covered by your running applications, place an icon with this action: dcop klipper klipper getClipboardContents | fmt | festival --tts Then simply highlight text with the mouse and click the icon. The highlighted text is read to you. Very cool. (I would like to acknowledge that this tip originally came from another list member. I do not have the person's name, but I saved the tip and have been using it!)
