[docbook] Text-to-speech preprocessor

- Bcc:
Dear Sirs,
I would like to see development of an application which formats a
document for use with a text-to-speech program such as TextAloud. I have
thought about such an application for some time, ever since I began using my
mp3 player to listen to converted text during my daily commute, but reading
about DocBook rekindled my interest. I've found listening to books read
aloud an effective way to learn. TextAloud doesn't render certain text as it
should, making some words and phrases unintelligible. Also, program listings
are very tedious to listen to; they should either be translated somehow or
left out altogether while the text is being read aloud. An app similar to
DocBook could fix both shortcomings. Something to consider.
Mike Underwood
