Sublime Text 2 plugin to read out lout the selected text

espeak.py

import sublime, sublime_plugin
import subprocess, threading

def _run(cmd, args):
	subprocess.call([cmd, args])


class SpeakCommand(sublime_plugin.TextCommand):
	
	def run(self, edit):

		for region in self.view.sel():	
			if not region.empty():
				cmd = ['espeak', self.view.substr(region)]
				threading.Thread(target=_run, args=cmd).start()


				
			

I added this shortcut to the key bindings:

{ "keys": ["shift+alt+v"], "command": "speak" }
