Description
Feature request for a plugin to integrate text to speech accessibility features. The developer is able to configure the plugin to point to a certain layer (eg. his own POI SymbolLayer) and the plugin would then hook into the Android accessibility service to read out text provided by the developer through its filter (eg. certain feature properties or the value of the text-field).
More info on accessibility services here.
