My experience with this is that you have to get the word by some means (e.g. it is a property, or it is selected some how) and then send it to a platform specific speech program. It is easy on a mac as there is a command line tool called "say". So, something like this
(shell-command "say \"Hello\") will say the word Hello out loud. I guess there are windows and linux equivalents. stardiviner <numbch...@gmail.com> writes: > Leu Zhe <lzhe...@gmail.com> writes: > > I want org-drill can add a feature to auto pronounce the word.
