I suspect that we ought to do a more basic speech-related task first, such as saying a constant string like “Hello, world!” Without being able to do that, there's no way to take on a much more challenging task like this one. –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 17:21, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
: I've reworded the task description to try to match better what I believe you intended by it (and to make it clearer to everyone what was actually meant so we can judge whether solutions make the grade). Please feel free to change it if you think I've not captured your intent. –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 11:08, 11 September 2011 (UTC)
:: I agree about renaming it. As it stands now, it appears that the speech engine is supposed to do the highlighting (rather than the computer program that is being used). -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 01:50, 26 December 2018 (UTC)
:: Also, I suppose not many (at best, just a few) computer programming languages would have (native) speech synthesis. I took the task's requirement such that the computer program could call another speech engine to do the heavy lifting. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 01:50, 26 December 2018 (UTC)
==Remove and add to suggested tasks list?==

I have implemented this task in AutoHotkey. It is possible that I can translate that into VBScript and possibly js because of the COM similarities, however I'd still need a way to "highlight" the text. AutoIt should be fairly simple to forge out of this (if only I knew it)
I find this task very interesting and would like to see it salvaged. I'm watching this page so please provide feedback/ideas on my implementation/other possible implementations :) --[[User:Crazyfirex|Crazyfirex]] 02:45, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
:I am going to be developing some specifications for behaviour highlight follower type applications. It is just a task on my enormous todo list at the moment though, so I haven't got anything to contribute at this time. Basically the specification will cover positioning of the highlighter bar as text is scrolled up or down, etc. I used to write such applications many many years ago. Unfortunately all of my applications were written in assembly language over MSDOS, and I used my own windowing engine. so I am having to reengineer everything from ground up to make anything usable today.

== Link to Speech Synthesis? ==
I think it would be helpful to link the description to the Speech Synthesis task, and possibly others such as Gui creation. By the way, in languages like VBScript which cannot create Gui's, is it acceptable to print each word to stdout?
: I've added the link, and also vice-versa. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 01:52, 26 December 2018 (UTC)
