Release Kodi Screen Reader (Text to speech)
In my effort to get this working for Kodi 19 I'm running into issues with settings. I am unable to change the Default TTS Engine. It appears to work, but the changes don't get saved. There is other weirdness. I don't know if this is a Kodi 19 issue, or what. Investigating.

I'm pretty interested to have this up and running around the release, so if there's anything I can do to test this, feel free to reach out!

Hello. I use the latest version of kodi on android but I don't have a screen reader. After the installation, I have the sound of the launch, but Kodi Screen Reader does not voice anything. I also can't change the voice engine in the settings. Tell me what the reason might be.

The Kodi screenreader doesn't work reliably under any version of Android, iOS or FireOS. You'll need to use the Windows, Mac or Linux operating system.

Hi everyone

Some time ago I asked on reddit how a blind person used kodi. A reddit user helped me with this by telling me that using the keyboard it was possible to activate the kodi screen reader. The technique was to press A, then D and then S and press down 9 times and enter twice. The problem is that this technique does not work on the kodi 18.9 version. Is there a new way to activate the screen reader in kodi using the keyboard? Thank you all.

Hi, it is now 10 times instead of 9.

They've added another addon in that section.

Hello,

Today I have installed Kodi v19 on my linux laptop.
I have spent a few hours with 2to3 script and created a dirty python 3 based port that works somehow.
It's working fine for me under linux. I've tested speech-dispatcher, eSpeak and pico2wave.
Browsing most of the windows is working great. I have noticed some regressions in the PVR section with confluence skin.
Builtin keymap is working fine.
Service does not freeze Kodi when exiting.
Addon settings are working the way they used to in v18 and earlier Kodi versions.

I've no packages so far as I think this is not release quality at all but if you can give me hints, feel free to take a look.
