--- Comment #2 from Simplissimus <kde.shieling at aleeas.com> ---
I understand, thanks for the hint. But I wasn't actually asking, I just wanted
to suggest a feature request: if a graphical tool in Okular's preferences could
be implemented so that the user does not have to mess around with configuration
files, that from this tool can configure these things easily. I don't know if I
have made myself clear. For example, the sound can be configured using Alsaconf
and things like that, but obviously we prefer to do it using the tools provided
by Plasma, which deal with Alsa and such from a graphical interface without
bothering the user.

So I ask if it would be possible that Okular, since it is a graphical
application, include a graphical configuration tool for speech-dispatcher.
Changing the mentioned paramenters is not an "exotic" setting either, I mean
surely all users are going to want to change the horrible voices that come by
default for ones that do not drill your ears, and let's not fool ourselves,
neither my mother nor my father-in-law nor probably yours are going to know or
want to waste time when they could have a graphical tool that with 4 clicks
will solve the problem.

Please, take a look at this video and you will see what I mean (it should start
at minute 4:05).

It doesn't look particularly complex, does it? Well, from my lack of knowledge
of the programming world it doesn't seem so to me, maybe I'm wrong.
Anyway, if Okular could have those controls to choose voice and 2 or 3 little
things more and that is what is in charge of "negotiating" or whatever with
speed-dispacher, it would be easily usable as a reader aloud by everyone not
only by "geeks" (with all the due respect, don't get me wrong).
