A bit off topic but while looking for other interesting commands in the Kindle I found that arecord can record sound from the built in microphone (doesn't seem like anyone else has mentioned it.)
Just run "arecord -f dat test.wav" then "aplay -f dat test.wav" to try it out.
Anyway back on topic.
The method I'm going to use is text to speech as there are not any simple ways that I know of to display text on screen (One could use launchpad to do so possibly) and will need the launchpad program https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=97636
Install launchpad then create a file called percent.ini in the launchpad folder containing:
[Actions]
;; run TTS Percent
Shift P = !/mnt/us/launchpad/scripts/percent.sh TTS_Percent &
Next create a file called percent.sh in launchpad/scripts containing:
#!/bin/sh
say "..........$(gasgauge-info -s)"
The periods are there to wake up the sound card but I don't know if they actually do anything.
Now just chmod +x percent.sh.
Now just hit "Shift Shift P" whenever you want to hear the percentage remaining. |
Yay this works quite well! =)
