If we're going to go that far, why don't we make eSpeak a service, instead of an activity? The kid could select text anywhere - Read, Browse, Chat, etc - and select Speak text from the contextual menu. The highlighting is then provided by the child directly, and we gain the ability to span the

Richard, If you do see the problem again, can you try to recall the order of activities. We have had problems in the past where one activity left the audio in an in-operable state for the next activity. Usually this is fixed by rebooting; but it is something to note. We believe that problem was

All activities should switch to a primary toolbar tab

Though this isn't in the guidelines formally yet, we are strongly recommending that activities switch to a primary tab when launched. For instance, Write should focus the Text toolbar; Paint should focus the Tools toolbar; Record should focus the Photo toolbar; etc. In other words, whatever you
