Speak Selected Text for Sublime Text 3

So this is based on the Mac's 'text to speech' function in Sublime Text 3. Previously from Scott Martin

When Sublime Text 3 came out, they changed the way this feature worked with they system, breaking the functionality from the previous versions.

This plug-in has been designed & updated for use with Mac OS X, and it is only needed for OS X 10.14 and higher.

Installing

Once you have Git installed, just go into Sublime's Packages folder and clone the repo.

cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/Sublime\ Text\ 3/Packages/User/
git clone https://github.com/jayrizzo/speak-selected-text-sublime.git "Speak_Selected_Text"
mv Speak_Selected_Text/Context.sublime-menu ~/Library/Application\ Support/Sublime\ Text\ 3/Packages/User/Context.sublime-menu
mv Speak_Selected_Text/SpeakSelectedText.py ~/Library/Application\ Support/Sublime\ Text\ 3/Packages/User/SpeakSelectedText.py

# cleanup
rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/Sublime\ Text\ 3/Packages/User/Speak_Selected_Text

Usage

From within Sublime Text 3, you can use the plug-in one of three ways.

1. Right-click your selection and choose "Speak Selected Text" from the context menu.
2. Use Sublime's command palette and search for "Speak Selected Text".
3. Create a Sublime Text key-binding mapped to the "speak_selected_text" command

Note: The key-binding cannot be the same as the OS shortcut, or the OS shortcut will override it!

Note: You can run the command again to stop the speech at any time.
