I have some slight aphasia. So apologies for typos.
One thing I've done in Lasso is add support to text so that it can always be used for TTS. In addition, every "frame" can have it's contents OCR'd.
I've used the combo to TTS whole books at this point.
So accessibility is the basis of the primitives and this is turned into core functionality... recently I added FSRS (spaced repetition.)
I'm now using the text TTS in Lasso for language learning -- both Romanian and Russian.

It is hookable so you can FSRS images and windows -- even nested instances of Lasso. I was trying to figure out what it'd be like to do the "How to Read a Book" style repetition for PDF's as you go through them i.e. you select content to be OCR'd, or screen shot material, or can write summaries, and across the following days it prompt you that information. Food for future thought.
