voice controlled article playlist TTS reader

[drake8495]

Hi, thank you again for the fantastic app. What I'm attempting now maybe a little bit ambitious, but if it hasn't already been done, it should be pretty useful.

The basic idea is:

1. To have offline TTS read articles from a list of articles in Feedly/Pocket (or failing that, from a list in Voice Aloud Reader).

2. To be able to navigate through article playlist via voice control ("next article" or use commands like "read articles from {tag_name}".

This would be great for catching up on events while going for a walk or driving etc.

Some challenges seem to be handling issues with the different article readers, e.g. pocket often fails to convert an article to a TTS friendly format and so the internal TTS won't read it; the main alternative seems to me to be exporting article text to Voice Aloud Reader and creating " Paragraph Skip" voice commands to get the TTS reader past the ads and other junk at the start of the copied article text.

Maybe I'm missing something blatantly obvious here, but I surprised something like this doesn't already exist, whether as an app or a flow or tasker setup.

Any ideas? I'm happy to mess around and try make it work myself, but I'm a scripting novice and could use some help.

Thanks.

Yes that would be great. Also I often listen to answers from this forum with voice aloud. And since I open the form through the app, it would be great if there was the choice to mark? all the text at once, before sharing it with voice aloud, as you can in the web browser instead of having to scroll through the page to mark all of the text.
