[12:39am: At a Roman bath, trying not to get my laptop wet.]
Would a text-to-speech feature be helpful?
One thing that keeps me from leveraging idle moments to meet my target daily word counts is the need to keep a train of thought in memory. I forget what I was writing about, or the specific concepts I was elaborating on.
Often, I'd start the day with a writing session, leave it unfinished to perform some other task, then encounter a mundane or semi-automatic task during which I could write or dictate ideas that build on the content I developed in the writing session. By then, I've usually forgotten what I wrote earlier.
It would be nifty to be able to review what I wrote while, say, washing dishes, so I can add to it.
One way to do this is to have a text-to-speech button or command that, when invoked, would play back specified portions of the written text. That would refresh my memory of the inferential chain I was building, allowing me to develop it.
