            Bug ID: 487346
           Summary: Feature Request: Speak beginning from current page
    Classification: Applications
           Product: okular
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR

SUMMARY

Currently, Okular has the following options for text-to-speech as far as I'm
aware:
- Tools → Speak Whole Document
- Tools → Speak Current Page
- Select a text block → Right-click context menu → "Speak Text"

I'm requesting the inclusion of an additional option to the Tools menu, which
would be functionally identical to "Speak Whole Document" except that it begins
speech from the current page, as opposed to page 1 of the document.

One use case for this feature is in resuming the reading of long texts. I have
several books which are hundreds of pages long, which I normally read in
multiple sessions. When I come back to a book, currently I need to either
select Speak Current Page for each new page of the book, or I need to select
the text from the beginning of where I'm starting some end point several pages
later. Another use case is for skipping e.g. table of contents,
copyright/publisher info, etc. which are sometimes located at the beginning of
a book.
