Yes, I know it can be done with the objc_utils, and that's what I'll be using. It just seems like the sort of thing that would be useful in a standard library, and as the speech library already sets up all the listeners etc to queue up multiple lines, it feels slightly like reinventing the wheel to write my own library.

RE: Dual screen support...?
Ooooh... neat.
I don't think I'll bother trying to implement the connection management at this stage -- it'll be a very early-stage prototype, and only I'll be using it, so I can do that manually.
Many thanks!

RE: Wish list for next release
I'd love to see an update to the speech module that gives me access to multiple voices by name.
I'm a French teacher and the voices in iOS are actually not bad for listening practice, and to date I've stuck with two voices: the French male one and the Canadian female one. But in theory I've got the two Siri voices available as well, so that should be two men and two women that I could have in a conversation.I've found a tutorial on switching the voices using Swift (http://www.ikiapps.com/tips/2015/12/30/setting-voice-for-tts-in-ios.html), so I'm going to try and wrap that in myself. But I'm sure I'm not the only one who would be interested (There are 11 different English voices, for instance, which is probably enough for a small game.)
