I Know I'm not the first to say this, but definitely been a while since this question was addressed.

I do alot of voiceover reads that come in all shapes and sizes, but most of the time it's just text on screen copied from a web page, as well as scratch and professional reads for work using transcripts, srt's, google docs, pdf's, etc. 

I realize that audition is an audio only workflow, as I've read in other forums, but why can't there be a simple text only window added to the (window) menu where you can copy/paste or input text into a field? Having to switch back and forth between pages while reading, or collapsing and expanding windows is kind of a pain, and yes, I have a dual monitor but the angles of my monitor vs where my mic is positioned isn't always in favor of that technique if I'm reading, or standing away from my desktop. Likewise scrolling while you read a document in another window can be distracting to the content you are making, and I prefer not to have to jup back and forth from interfaces when I can work in one smooth interface, like the beautiful dark hues of audition.

Premiere has a transcripting feature now and so many of your new programs have text based workflows so how hard could this be? I whipped up a visual example using illustrator for you.
