@Pantyhose-X: it is an interesting suggestion, similar to https://github.com/joelpurra/talkie/issues/12.

Since Talkie is a browser extension, hearing keypresses in regular desktop programs like Microsoft Word (used in the video you linked) would probably not work. That said, it might be possible to enable it for typing text on websites, which would require some work to implement. I have added it to my list of improvement ideas, but it is not on the top of the list as I have to finish some other things first.

Talkie Premium can read text on the clipboard from any program, but that works differently. Browser extensions are (as far as I know) not allowed to "listen" to keypresses in other programs.

It would be of interest to hear from others who are also interested in such a feature.
