Read Aloud Navigation buttons??

Read aloud has really evolved since its inclusion. And the Piper voice is a whole lot better than the Microsoft defaults.

Is there any plans to add navigation buttons to the interface? At the moment, we can start and stop. And we can click to start where we want. But whenever you do that, read aloud takes some time to reset. Navigation buttons to jump to the next/previous sentence/paragraph might require less overhead and be processed faster.

But again thanks for all the work so far.

No, no plans clicking and navigation buttons will have the same performance so there isn't much point. Clicking on a button isnt much better than clicking on text.

Perhaps I am the only who find navigation buttons more convenient since no one else has asked for them.
