Hi Chris,
previously the TTS engines would not be able to read the kanji aloud
(they would simply say nothing), only the hiragana. That's why there is
the picker. However, the TTS engines were vastly improved and I guess
that such selector makes no sense. Please create a feature request at
http://github.com/mvysny/aedict/ and I'll take a look. Thanks! :)
Best,
Martin
