(I am not a developer for that platform though, so I haven't got any sample code for this at this time.)

-For other engines, we can emulate this with a parse, highlight and speak loop. As long as we can control the cursor, this should be easy. I'll knock some code together for other languages as time permits.

+Hi Mark, It is not whether or not the task is easy or not to write that bothers me, it is that no one thinks it's easy enough to have gone ahead and done it after several weeks. Normally the first implementation follows within a day of the task description; and it's usually done by the person who writes the task description so they can get a good task description and first implementation out for others to follow. I think this task is only at the suggestion stage. Thats why I think it isn't yet ready for even a draft task. Maybe others would like to chip in with their thoughts? --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 21:24, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
