  1. On the subject of Bluetooth connected devices ... perhaps I can put in a request for you to consider adding the ability to control Mantano Text-to-Speech with the media control buttons on Bluetooth headsets (as some of your competitor reader apps already do). This would be a great help when trying to listen to books when the app buttons are not easily accessible (e.g. out walking, painting the house).

    Ability to start/stop the TTS via the headset Play/Pause button would be great. If you were also able to add Forward-a-Paragraph/Back-a-Paragraph via the headset Next-Track/Previous-Track buttons, that would be even better

  2. How about fine-tuning the control of font-size. I love the ability to change by sliding up/down the the right edge of the screen but the jumps between one size and the next are too large to get the size I want on my phone. If it's not possible to do it via the slider an extra setting in Themes would also work OK.
Hello jackie_w,
Thanks a lot for the compliment, it's much appreciated! It's great for me to have the opportunity to discuss with advanced users as I can find there. I can't do that more frequently but from time to time I like it a lot, too, it's very motivating :-)
Your feature requests are very interesting, I carefully take them into account (they're now in my JIRA backlog...). Both requests related to TTS look rather simple to implement, so I'll try to add them on our short term roadmap...
Cheers,
JM
