I have an IDE question -- Is there a tool to (easily)  turn technical writing into a narration script?  

I'm making [DAISY][1] documents from Word files, and since we have ugly sentences, I find myself marking them up oddly to create a human-sayable version 

The versions (technical full document and the audiobook/HTML version use the same words (except things like e.g. becoming "for example"), but the mega-sentences are hard to parse.  

I'd love to be able to semi-automate marking "this is an on-screen phrasing" and "this is the 'noun' of the sentence.    
>Press ALT+1 to move to the Region Search Case ID, Last Name, SSN edit field, and then type in the new search terms.  

*(That's the middle of a sentence.  If you think of it as "Press ALT+1 to move to the Red Square", then "region...ssn" is red, and "edit field" is square.)*

Some of my edits are standard, and I'm noting them to control-H (find-and-replace) them -- marking out the F in a function key (F7) so I don't just say "7", and underlining the "not"s.

But I would love to also be able to say "treat words in this list as 'end-noun-phrases' " (square) and and "treat words in this list as adjectival screen terminology."  (Within a given document, there tend to just be a relatively limited set of these.)

I could picture in the IDE, dragging a phrase to a "resource" pane, to mark it as a specific type that should then be highlighted/marked a certain way.

Just no idea how to do it, besides my manual 
mark-up. 

I can see a tool like this being useful for anyone who creates online-learning from technical writing, not just my very specific scenario. (At my job we create the sync-able HTML using [Dolphin Publisher][2], we record the audio, and then they get synched.)
