vim-read

Make Vim read text out loud!

(Works on OSX only)

About

This plugin uses the say OSX command and makes it nice to use from Vim.

Features:

  • convenient (but non-intrusive) mappings
  • reads in the background so you can actively use Vim while listening
  • ability to stop reading at any moment
  • makes sure only one voice is reading at the time, no overlay
  • quitting Vim stops reading

Mappings

  • yr<motion> - read operator (mnemonic for: "You Read <motion>")
  • yrr - read the current line
  • yrs - stop reading (mnemonic for: "You Read Stop")

Visual mode mappings:

  • CTRL-R - reads visual selection

Use scenarios

Situations when I use this plugin:

  • checking long program input I had to type in manually, example: I wanna check I correctly typed a long range of numbers that are an input for the algorithm (0 9 1 -4 2 11 4 8 -3 0 ...)
  • reading an email I wrote so I can focus on how it sounds

Installation

Just use your favorite plugin manager.
