Thanks for the info! Rather than implement my plugin into others, I figure I'll just add a scroll JS function. Taking a look at the autoscroll plugin, it just seems to mathematically difficult to translate the scroll time/distance into coordinates. Instead, I can just write a function with JS

I don't know IF it needs to slavish follow it. Hopefully not. Merely that reading rate might be roughly matched to scroll rate in some way. I'm GLAD you grasped my basic idea. Maybe there is some mileage in it? Best wishes TT On Monday, 16 August 2021 at 20:19:54 UTC+2 flanc...@gmail.com

Interesting Idea. It took me a while, but now I think I get what you're saying: you would like the plugin to read, moving line by line to show WHAT it is currently reading. I'll have to look at implementation, but the idea is definitely good! On Monday, August 16, 2021 at 12:49:37 PM UTC-4

Ciao Flanc I encourage you to look at and think a bit about https://tiddlytools.com/autoscroll.html Eric Shulman did a *mass* of work on AUTO-SCROLLING that went into the usual desert of neglect. NOW I'm wondering IF, somehow YOUR reading might be somehow combined with HIS auto scrolling

That is definitely a simpler implementation, @TiddlyTweeter. I will work on adding this for v1.0.2 On Mon, Aug 16, 2021 at 11:19 AM TiddlyTweeter wrote: > Ciao Flanc ... > > What would be wrong with a normal button on the View Bar for a Tiddler for > "Read Aloud This Tiddler" ?? > > I think

@TiddlyTweeter: This is something I have been thinking about too. I’d love to expand the plug-in and make it a Right-Click menu for TW. This menu would have a button to read selected text, highlight, bold, underline, etc. If there was no selected text range, it would give the option for a new

Ciao Flanc ... I can see UTILITY in reading back text. BUT I kinda think in TW it needs a bigger aim than just text as native phonic computer tools do that ALREADY. I DO think reading COMBINED with existing tools like ERIC SHULMAN's excellent "Tiddler Scroller" could be very neat??? Ask if
