Comment:

 We so far implemented Text-to-Speech interface for our GUI and several
 engines. Unfortunately, hotspots or inventory are not exposed via some API
 yet.

 Your approach also would require somebody to create the metadata data for
 the games. Thus, if somebody with enough dedication would come up with
 some format and perhaps test data for some game or part of it, then we
 could consider supporting that. Without such effort even if we implement
 this feature, there will be no real-world usage for it.

 Closing it for now, we will work on the TTS support in other engines, also
 exposing hotspots could come some day in the future, since there is a
 demand for the touch devices, but beyond that, the above mentioned file
 format/specs is required first.
