Android feature request: plecoapi://x-callback-url/clipboard

[Peter]

1. It would be great if the open clipboard reader URL scheme was also supported on Android.

2. A URL option to automatically play TTS audio also desirable.

My use case: opening Anki sentence-based flashcards in Pleco to listen to the audio. Currently I use the standard search URL scheme and manually tap the TTS icon. Enclosed is a screenshot of the Anki front-side card.

Thanks.

To be honest we didn't think anyone would care about #1 on Android because you can already open the clipboard reader through an intent (iOS now has its own equivalent of those, but it didn't at the time we added that feature) - is there a particular scenario where an intent would not work and you specifically need a URL?

For #2, there are some licensing restrictions on making our TTS accessible outside of our app, unfortunately. But I know AnkiDroid has its own integration with the Android system TTS - are you not able to rig up something to read examples with that?

It would be really convenient if the app provided a URL scheme for external apps to quickly perform searches. I'm really looking forward to this feature. Some other dictionary apps already have it.

We do have that already:
