Gonzalzo,
Do I understand you correctly that this is supposed to work by using
alt-shift-s, but currently does not?

Gonzalzo,
Thanks for your help with this.

What the teachers were asking for was for the ability to have text read in
Browse and Write. The use case would be highlighting text and then taking
some action which results in the

Yes. Speak uses espeak via command line, as Chris pointed out. I found
that in the source too. I didn't find anything in Chat.

thread. :)

The Sugar Speak activity provides a keyboard to speech function. The
learner types words, then presses enter. The text is spoken.

Hello all.
I am working with some teachers and students using XO 1.5 and version 10.1.3
of the software.
The teachers really want to make use of a text to speech functionality.
I can't seem to find out how this works.
I would appreciate any help you can offer.
Thanks.
Gerald
