Play from clipboard

[muflone]

A feature to play a text in the clipboard should be implemented

This is the primary feature I use for TTS software for in Windows (mostly for pdf
ebooks). I haven't seen any good implementation for it in Linux yet. I hope to see
this to be able to be made automatic, I mean watch the clipboard (like 2nd Speech
Center and TextAloud) and then read it without any user intervention.

I had a lot of troubles to play automatically a text when it was pasted
issue #22

it wasn't easily possible for some technical issues.
I hope to investigate for this particular issue which is different from the previous.

With NaturalReader, you have 2 interfaces, one like gespeaker. One called minibord. I use Minibord mostly, it stay on top of all windows. You can select text in browser, then click play icon (first button) to read the selected text.

Here is a screen shot of naturalreader Minibord

In ubuntu forum discussion related to text to speech, i read there is 2 clip bord in ubuntu, one for selected text. If we can play it with a minibord like natural reader, it will be great.
