Feature request: please add text to speech settings shortcut to global context screen. #427

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
When you bring up the global context menu in talkback there are shortcuts to 
pause feedback at the top left and a shortcut to talkback settings at the top 
right my request is to have text to speech settings added to the global context 
menu as a shortcut to take you directly to text to speech settings so you don't 
have to exit the activities you are doing to access them for example if i am 
reading a web page in french currently i would have to exit the web browser, go 
to settings, go to accessibility or language and input go to text to speech 
settings switch to the french tts i have installed then go back to the browser 
to continue reading with the french tts  this would be easier if a text to 
speech shortcut was added to the global context screen preferably the bottom 
middle taking the above ecample down to the following in the web page i am 
reading in french do gesture to bring up global context menu go to shortcut for 
text to speech settings switch to french tts go back to reading french web page 
with chosen tts   this would make switching tts much easier cutting the current 
steps .

It would be much better if synth switcher could be built in talkback, so we 
could preconfigure it by what tts we want to use for surtain language, and than 
just make the gesture and change the synth very quickly.

I like the idea of adding a TTS Settings shortcut to the Global Context Menu. I 
also like Mario's suggestion of adding a language switcher. Another option is 
to give users the ability to add a specific TTS to the GCM (e.g., Google TTS), 
so that users can touch the item and go directly into the settings for that TTS.

We're all trying to propose ways of switching languages on the fly.

Very good idea, will it work with people doesn't have text to speech option 
under accessibility?

better if it is work with tts settings under language and input as well.

The originally requested feature is already present i.e. text to speech 
settings can be found within the global context menu of Google Talkback.
Other ideas proposed as individual comments to this issue are not implemented 
nor their status and / or estimate is known.
