Thanks for sharing, Justin!
Yeah, it would be interesting to compare these different methods of selecting 
text. I like that there's no clicking and dragging involved in the Sitecues 
one, but I'm a bit worried about the combination of mouse and keyboard 
interaction.

Jan sent a link to an interesting implementation of text-to-speech from the 
makers of Zoomtext (see forwarded message below). In fact, it's not too 
dissimilar from the interaction spec'd out in our 
designs<http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/(Floe)+UI+Options+Design+Walkthrough,+C.1>.
 The biggest difference is that it works on blocks of text, where as ours 
allows for finer grained selection. I think it's still worth looking at, and 
could be useful to compare in terms of usability in selecting the text.

Thanks

Hi Colin, Justin,

AiSquared (makers of Zoomtext) have this new site add-on that's a bit like a 
mini-UIOptions. I think the UI they use for text to speech is 
interesting....i.e. mouse over and press spacebar.

Cheers,
Jan
