• [alt] + [spacebar] Goes back to the beginning of where you started typing and reads all words typed afterwards.

These AutoHotKey scripts are designed for my senior capstone course "Engineering Design and Devolepment". The purpose of these scripts is to help a blind individual using Microsfot Word 365 review what they have typed immediately after they type. This is possible through MSWords's built in diction reader and its' shortcut which corosponds to the keys [Control] + [Alt] + [Spacebar].
