JayReader
JayReader 1.0B
JayReader is a simple free text reader with basic features and not a whole great deal of else. Its currently built to meet my needs as easily as possible. My hope is that it will meet others needs as well.
Here is its current feature list:
-Plays speech from the start of the document, the selected text, or from the cursor to the end of the document.
-You can pause or continue that speech.
-You can change the speed of the speech.
-It will Highlight what it is saying if you want.
-Nothing else that isn’t just a giveaway from the OSX text input system.
Any feedback is always welcome.
Thanks,
Josh Jay

Yeah, I’ve done a bit of work on it here and there (a complete interface redesign for example, added multiple document support with it, and a few other things). That release is stalled by the fact that I want to have sparkle updating but I’ve not found the time to create the appcast and deal with the signing (or I should say for some reason I’m having trouble signing my update properly, and haven’t taken the time to restart the process). Any feature requests will be noted, and I’ll be sure to fit them into my schedule. As you are the only person who’s contacted me since my first release in NOV 08 I’ll make adding anything you specifically want higher priority. What is there is kindof just the bare minimums to meet my needs, as I’m the only user that I actually knew of ^^. If you want you can contact me via msn or email at dizmas@gmail.com, or aol or yahoo messenger with the username of ksfireball87 . Any feedback or anything is highly appreciated though.
