i'm using gvim for now. the person with impaired speech types.... Say: "hi, i'm jon and i'm hear to give you some background on virtue ethics." Or whatever.
the gvim editor has been spawned. i must wait until the user is finished typing--ESC]:[Enter]. then my espeak | aplay speech code will echo what he has typed. is there any way, other than, or maybe in addition to-- spinning in a while loop at 10 millisecond usleeps for the vim ".text1.text.swp" file to go away? does wim enter characters into its textfiles as the user types? i'm close. thanks to guys who are on various mailing list.
