I use Linux Mint 21.1. I make considerable typing errors when I write but I don’t see them, so it would be helpful if the machine could read out loud my writings back to me. How can I get this to happen?
I would really prefer to not have to go through an extensive set of disability accommodation steps every single time nor hear the computer tell me everything that is happening on the screen, but I will do it if necessary. I’m hoping there’s an app or a LibreOffice button I can push to read only my selected text.
Here’s an example of the accessibility screen reader not being helpful for me: https://imgur.com/7QvU9y4
Edit:
So at the advice of @[email protected], I searched for apps using “text-to-speech” and found an app in the software manager called VoiceGen that seems helpful!
That sounds fun to try out even if just for the experience. Thanks for your help :)
I found an article that describes different ways you can use it and how to easily paste text into it: https://www.baeldung.com/linux/command-line-text-to-speech
That’s awesome! I really like Google’s voice. I’m gonna search around and see if there’s a way to get it to work on GUI. Let me know if you know of a way!
I don’t know of any, but wouldn’t that be the same as what you do with google translate?
