Text to speech & question about CBZ

[ghost]

1. Text to speech function.
   Does KOReader have this function? How to turn it on? Are English and Russian languages available?
   I didn't see the text-to-speech option in the menu...

2. CBR
   Can I translate words in pictures (CBZ file)? like in PDF? (I haven't tried it in PDF yet too, but heard about)
   I forgot what this function is called.
   Please help to install this, if it is possible🙏

And I'm not programmer, so can you explain all steps for me more in detail.

No text to speech.

CBZ: no, these are just images. I would just assign dictionary to a gesture and type in manually

The 2nd function is called OCR and it's supported for the scanned PDFs: https://github.com/koreader/koreader/wiki/Dictionary-support#dictionary-lookups-in-scanned-pages

I guess it shouldn't be too difficult to make it work in the images as well?

As for TTS, see this: #545

It's unlikely to be supported, unless someone goes to an effort to write a plugin (and it'll be platform specific, as I understand).

It already does. It's just that results are generally worse in comics because the OCR isn't great at hand lettering.
