Upgrade StorageZoTTS - Text To Speech plugin
Hello Zotero Community,
I recently came across a a GitHub repopository for a future Text-to-Speech (TTS) plugin for Zotero, called “ZoTTS”. This plugin aims to add TTS functionality to the Zotero PDF viewer.
TTS in Zotero has been requested both here on the forum and elsewhere online several times over a number of years. If one day this plugin is finished and available, it will be a big step in the right direction towards a more accessible Zotero for dyslexics, autistics, people with ADHD, and others with reading difficulties.
I have no affiliation with the creator of this plugin, but I believe that a TTS plugin will be a valuable addition to our Zotero toolkit. I thought it would be worth sharing with the community.
I don't know programming and unfortunately have little to contribute, but maybe there is someone here who can and wants to? Any feedback or suggestions can be directed to the plugin’s GitHub repository/ creator for the developer(s) to review.
As far as I can see, it's Ben Jaeger (ImperialSquid) who is the creator. (https://github.com/ImperialSquid)
Repository URL: https://github.com/ImperialSquid/zotero-zotts
Best, Sondre Bogen-Straume

I'm not a programmer either, unfortunately, but I just want to join in encouraging anyone who is able to contribute to consider working on this project! It would help me a lot with reading. Having speech move along at a certain pace instead of my reading, which I can stop and ponder one point for hours down a rabbit hole, much increases the chances I will get to the end of any text.
