In pseudocode:

	when mouse has not been moved for at least 1 second
		find cursor position
		if cursor has moved
			stop
		find window where cursor is
		if  cursor has moved or no text window underneath
			stop
		find line of text in the window device where the cursor is
		say the text
	when F1 is hit
		read out line already typed at open rio window

Any technical problems with this approach?
