Upgrade StorageRead Aloud for plugin-generated text?
[Split from Available for beta testing: Read Aloud]
Hi Zotero Team,
The new Read Aloud feature is great!
Following up on this, I had an idea to extend it to how we use AI plugins, like LLM summarizers (specifically llm-for-zotero Paper chat).
The Idea: Could Read Aloud be available not only in the PDF/document pane but also in the top-level UI --> thereby able to read aloud text that is generated by a plugin? For example, if I run a prompt in the llm-for-zotero plugin asking for "the main limitations of this paper," and the summary appears as text on my screen, it would be amazing if I could select that output and have Zotero read it aloud (as the plugins don't seem to ship TTS.. so this could be an elegant workaround!).
Why this helps: This would keep me within Zotero - Instead of working with AI summary/doc chat in other tools that support Text To Speech I would then more frequently rely on Zotero and the llm plugin to generate and listen to summaries/answers to targeted questions. If I can get an immediate sumamry and audio review from within Zotero, it would be a nice one-stop-shop for accelerated AI augmented navigation of complex literature stacks - rendering zotero "in-house" AI insights much faster and more natural.
Thanks for all the work on Read Aloud; this extension would make the whole research process even smoother!
