/** KoSpeaker is a singleton object that provides Text-to-Speech services for KOffice applications.
* When activated, it will speak the text of widgets under the mouse pointer and/or the
* the widget with focus.
*
* It also provides some methods for speaking text from documents.
*
* IMPORTANT: This class will be removed from KOffice when KOffice is converted to KDE4.
* It will be replaced with a proper screen reading capability using the AT-SPI.
*
* This is quite a hack and doesn't work reliably. The following are current problems:
* 1. Cannot speak menu items in a TQMenuBar (top menu of app).
* 2. Doesn't understand every possible widget.
*
* This capability is @em not intended for completely blind users. Such users cannot use
* KDE 3.x anyway, since it lacks a screen reader. Instead, this capability is intended as
* an aid to users with other vision disabilities.
*
* KOffice applications can access this object using the kospeaker global.
