For me kttsmsg would be even more useful if it would not only show the current sentence (->Job->Current Sentence) but also the last one (or even the whole paragraph).

Let me explain the reasons:
I use kttsmsg to read and listen to long English texts. This is a good way to learn the right pronunciation for non-native speakers. Often it would be easier to understand a difficult sentence if I could see it together with the previous sentence in order to see the context. Sometimes I also would like to re-read a sentence without the need to stop the tts-voice (e.g. when also my wife is listening to the tts-voice.)
