Just this:
4 lua functions to act as wrappers for ISPVoice::Speak, ISPVoice::Voice, ISPVoice::Rate, ISPVoice::Pitch.
If WoW instantiated an ISPVoice interface at load up, and we had lua functions to access those four methods, we would have a tremendous ability to enhance our UI's.
The only way (currently) to access SAPI functions violates the TOS and will no longer work in 1.6 (for very good reasons). This is why I didn't develop the test code I used into a mod.
For people like me (with a corrected vision of 20/65 in one eye and 20/40 in the other) the chat window is an excercise in compromise - too big and it occludes too much screen real-estate, too small and the necessity to have the font boosted means stuff scrolls off too fast too read.
Right now I use SpeakAloud (which can monitor the clipboard) and I select pieces of text that I can't read due to contrast issues and let it read them for me - but with those four functions I could easily have a mod read party chat and other crucial information to me, allowing me to focus on important stuff (like the pretty pictures :) )
Am I the only one who would find this incredibly useful?

This is a really cool idea, unfortunately it would be trivial to hook these functions to export arbrary data from the lua sandbox.

Well, the ways that I know of have been closed. If there are still easy ways to get data out of the scripting sandbox without modifying the game or reloading the UI, I'd appreciate hearing about them.

Q u o t e:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q u o t e:
There's also the chat log and the combat log.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Both of these are buffered, and in the case of the combat log, you can't inject arbitrary text. The chat log MAY be an issue, but it's not wholly supported and may have limitations we're unaware of.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q u o t e:
macros-local.txt is written as soon as you modify a macro.
chat-cache.txt is written as soon as you join or part a channel.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These two I haven't seen any comments on yet, so they remain as possibilities.
Yes, these aren't patch noted, but they also don't work in 1.6

Q u o t e:
I type slow hehe. Anyone on test able to tell if chat logs save at the end of a session? Which would be a fine compromise.
Yes, they should. It's just that toggling chat logging on and off no longer flushes the chat log.
