I have been playing with it recently and I see that I can have the text of a book read out loud with MS Speech API. This is insufficient, however, because I want to be able to review the text of the book with NVDA. This is particularly important when reviewing text by character is necessary, such as when reading programming books. I don't see a way to do this. Am I missing something or am I simply out of luck?<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Robert<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><br clear=all><o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal>-- <o:p></o:p></p><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal>• OLR will be available via phone and email Mon-Fri from 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM.
