i'll try it out

[RvG2]

installed works perfectly.

hope you can something for male and female voice. if the gender of the user is male it will talk to male voice and it it's female user it will talk to female.

well i added it and it works great

[C.Birch]

If you want a male voice you edit

<a href="javascript:void(0);"
onclick="get_id('post_message_$post[postid]','en','fm');">

to

<a href="javascript:void(0);"
onclick="get_id('post_message_$post[postid]','en','ml');">

male-female on each user could be done using profile Fields where they pick male (ml) or female (fm). I'll sort it out over weekend if i get time.

looks like it works with 6 languages. to change the language, the code you put in postbit and postbitlegacy, alter the:

'en','fm');">

part. here is what will work so far:

English = en
Spanish = es
Italian = it
Hindi = hi
Portugues = pt
Catala = ca

so if you want spanish, your code should look like:

 'es','fm');">

thanks for the little addon.

installed.
