ruuk : Thank you so much for putting such hard work into developing this fantastic add-on. It works perfectly on my Mac. I was going to suggest speaking through Voiceover directly, as this would automatically adopt the user's existing preferences for speech rate, voice, etc. But I see that this is already on your radar. The add-on already works quite well enough by using the OS X speech interface, so this would simply be a nice bonus to make things more seamless. On windows, it would also be good if it could speak through System Access from Serotek. If I remember correctly, The python example that you were referred to earlier in this thread should also have this feature. So those would be the only things I would suggest adding. Other than that, this really does feel complete. Thanks again for a job very well done.

Hey Ruuk,
Thanks a lot for making this addon. I've never been able to use XBMC before, but this is awesome now. This addon is awesome and I'm really enjoying it. I've gotten a lot of people to try XBMC now and everyone is loving it. So far I've been using it on Windows and my Pi, and I know person who has it working it great on his Mac.
One thing that I do have a suggestion for is the addon called Web viewer. It seems to be completely text-based, and linear, but your addon does not work with it. It's used for social addons like the twitter and facebook addons to authorize however the addon does not speak the screen.
Thanks again, and let us know if we can help you out in any way.

I was able to use the tts on helix.
I can only get speech to work by installing xbmc using the tts installer.
If I install xbmc without using the tts or update with another install, i get no speech.
I can only get speech back by uninstalling and installing.
I have not deleted my profile folder.
I am trying hard not to do so because I spent a lot of time setting xbmc up the way i wish.
Any thoughts on what I can try to solve this problem.
I am sure if I removed xbmc completely and installed again that would solve the problem.
Any thoughts on how to solve the problem without doing so.
thanks

Thanks a lot for that.
I had to reinstall because xbmc stopped working after every played video.
It works again with the latest helix.
Obviously, something corrupted the program.
thanks again

I do have one more suggestion that I just thought of yesterday. While editing text, I realized that I can not use left and right arrows to review text, or any of the other key commands to review text. Is their a way that this could be added in if possible? Currently you have to know where you are and you could arrow where you need to be and then edit and TTS will read if you backspace or if you add in text to the field. If it can be added in, this would be really useful especially for usernames or keys such as with the dropbox addon when entering your key.
This would also be useful in the text we were as if you try to view change locks, speech will read everything as it comes in, and not even pressing control will stop it. leaving the window will not even stop it.The only way that I found to stop it is to kill my screenreader and then relaunching it, making me have to go back into the configuration and switch back to it because it will automatically switch to SAPI.

Right now it only works with the speech server running on another computer.
