[Feature Request] Text to speech / Firefox Readermode #327

Open SirMetathyst opened 3 years ago

SirMetathyst commented 3 years ago

Would be great if we could have text to speech like Firefox's Reader Mode, I often like to playback what I write, hearing it over and over again, iterating on a paragraph or/and an entire chapter. It may also be nice to have the preview window look like firefox reader mode as well with its features like changing text, size background color etc.

I assume you mean for the web export? Or the editor?

For the web export, a lot of this can be added yourself - they're trying not to overload the basic export with too much. I can say from experience that using the javascript API for speech synthesis can be a bit buggy, so might not be great to include by default, but isn't the worst to implement yourself.
