Two new BBEdit Extensions for speaking the selected text using Apple new
Speach Manager.

I was thing about writting a XTND capable speaking program, to allow
speaking of any word processing file, but no need since BBEdit is such a
program.

Hence, Speak Sentences and Speaking my first BBEdit module.

1) Speak Sentences

Simple extension that use Apple's new speach manager to 'Talk' the
selected text.

2) Speaking

An extensiont that use Apple's new speach manager to 'Talk' the
selected text.

The use is presented with a dialog box with some limited control over how
text is spoken.

* You can ask it to spell the text or speak the text.
* You can use the Talk, Stop, Pause, and Continue buttons to control and
replay the text.
* The exit button is used to return to BBEdit.

As time permits I will add the 'standard missing features' selecting voice,
rate and pitch.

Cheers,
Mark Fleming
