I think there is some confusion on this thread re use of TTS in our software. Most, if not all speech implementations within the programmes are simply an added feature, useful to get read a text while doing something else - for people with sight or without. If the speech feature would randomly jump about to whatever else is done in the programme at a given time, this would be annoying and totally beside the point. On the other side there is stuff like Orca and other screen readers, which assist sightless people to find their way about, using often system hooks to intercept and re-interpret mouse and keyboard events, following the user about as s/he uses programmes, windows and menus. I think the only expectation one should have is that programmes like Xiphos do not get into the way of such systemwide implementations.
