Sodbeans is built on the NetBeans platform. So, any plugin you write for NetBeans is fully supported by Sodbeans out of the box. The only difference is you also get our custom text-to-speech tools and accessibility fixes/enhancements. Since sodbeans is modular, you can even write plugins that build on sodbeans specific code, which gives you the opportunity to control the way the environment reads things, or anything else you want.So yaa, like NetBeans, Sodbeans is pretty flexible,Just to give you a quick example, if you want to force NetBeans to read something, and you have Sodbeans installed, you can write:TextToSpeech speech = Lookup.getDefault().lookup(TextToSpeech.class);This will dynamically load up TTS for your platform and screen reader (not all are supported yet, but still).You can then say:speech.speak("whatever"), or you can pass special flags that put your text in our priority systems.Anyway, that's just one example, Stefik
