Make Vim read text out loud!
(Works on OSX only)
This plugin uses the say OSX command and makes it nice to use from Vim.
Features:
- convenient (but non-intrusive) mappings
- reads in the background so you can actively use Vim while listening
- ability to stop reading at any moment
- makes sure only one voice is reading at the time, no overlay
- quitting Vim stops reading
yr<motion>- read operator (mnemonic for: "You Read <motion>")yrr- read the current lineyrs- stop reading (mnemonic for: "You Read Stop")
Visual mode mappings:
CTRL-R- reads visual selection
Situations when I use this plugin:
- checking long program input I had to type in manually, example: I wanna check
I correctly typed a long range of numbers that are an input for the
algorithm (
0 9 1 -4 2 11 4 8 -3 0 ...) - reading an email I wrote so I can focus on how it sounds
Just use your favorite plugin manager.
