SpokenWord Description

The SpokenWord application was developed to be a small tool that basically just "reads" a Word document back to you.Basically: - open a Word doc, - open SpokenWord, - press "Play". Anything more complicated than that is covered in the ReadMe. But that's not why you are reading this, my CodeProject friend, you want to know the nuts and bolts ... the tips and tricks ... the ins and outs ... the gotchas and workarounds.There are several areas that can be improved (or at least implemented) in the code: - Externalize Pre-process "dictionary" to an XML file for user customization. - Actually implement the Post-process. - Parse the RTF text to add SAPI "formatting". For example, if the original text is bold, wrap the word in (emphasis) tags. - Better synchronization between playback and navigation. If you look at frmHover.m_voice_Bookmark you'll see that I tried to use the bookmarks to set the Word selection to the correct position, but that proved more trouble than it was worth. Currently, the selection and playback can get out of sync, especially inside tables. The only way to re-sync it is to stop playback and restart. - Detect and ignore sections like Table of Contents and Indexes (see WordHelper.IsAnIndexBlock()).
