Can you add a user-selectable, user-configurable item to TF/User to enable PlainTalk to "speak " the text of the topics. The capability would really be useful if it utilized the preferences of the Chat user profiles to deteremine the speech parameters to be used when processing the text. (ie, "default" would be used when no entry in the chat user profiles for the name listed in the "From" field when any domain addressing is stripped away, but if an entry exists, use it.)
I see two implementation variants of this capability.
1. A "Speak This Message" button on the message window. 2. A preference setting to enable "Speak topic messages as they are read"
