Hi Hynek, All:
I'm not sure I agree that speech engines should not do their own audio
output. While I think you have identified some real problems with that
approach, it's not clear that the ".wav file" approach has a low enough
latency. If tests show that latency is not a problem, then passing

You answered my malformed question. :-) Thanks.

Are commercial TTS engines sufficiently isolated in this new TTS API
proposal? With respect to licensing, can DECtalk and TTSynth be
successfully linked to and be used? gnome-speech is providing a nice
abstraction.

Hello,
I'd like to address a few points.
* First, as we discussed on [EMAIL PROTECTED] (if someone is
not subscribed, you are welcome to join), we want to create a new API to
access speech synthesis. This shouldn't be looked at as "yet-another"
speech API. Rather, we did some prototypes in Gnome
Speech-dispatcher in general works well with screen readers. I am using it
with its generic module as I am writing this email.
It stops speech by killing the command-line program that is executed by
the generic module. This works better than one would expect.
When testing Orca or Gnopernicus, I
Hi Willem:
That's good news about the DECTalk and TTSynth support. If we could get
a Cepstral/Swift module as well, I think we'd have the major synths
covered. Perhaps the gnome-speech FreeTTS code could be ported to the
SpeechDispatcher API someday, to give us two free engines (especially
now t
Speech-dispatcher has support for the DECTalk Software speech and
Viavoice/TTSynth. It also has a generic module through which one can make
it work using any synthesizer that can take text on the command-line and
speak it.
Speech-dispatcher is very stable, even when using an unstable generic

Hi Luke,
I hope to be able to make something available this week, but can't
promise, since I'm at Guadec and it might be hard to find some spare
time. I

Hi Enrico,
I'm cu

CORBA festival driver as well as test code for the festival C/C++ API,
so that I can gain familiarity with both things.
Any reasons why this hasn't been done yet?
In the meantime, however, before I hurt my brain too much with this,
