I tried the updated TTS app from that thread. The new version reads AlertDialog titles and messages now, although it still does not read other non-focusable text on the screen. Perhaps I'm not aware of an input function that will prompt TTS to read the entire screen. I'll take my follow-up questions to that group.
Thanks for the info and link.
