Hi all, The next Sugar meeting will be held on TTS, and I thought I'd just write down a few ideas that seem to be most important at the moment. It will really nice if those who are interested in speech synthesis on the XO take time out to attend this meeting, so that some concrete plans can be developed for the future.
Speech Synthesis Sugar Meeting 1. Short Term Implementation Plans a. Discussing feasibility of speech-dispatcher for the XO b. Discussion of speech-dispatcher python API c. Discussion of speech-dispatcher sugar configuration management d. UI elements of speech synthesis control panel e. Working on something like sugar.speech? f. performance analysis of speech dispatcher for the XO 2. Long Term Plans a. Development of Guidelines for using speech synthesis for developing self-voicing activities. b. Expansion of ideas list and encouraging community developers to incorporate speech synthesis in their activities. (Creating literacy projects around speech synthesis.) c. Streamlining speech synthesis projects in OLPC community d. Community involvement/experimentation with voice parameters/phoneme data to improve quality of synthesized voice. 3. Improving Accessibility using speech-synthesis. Please add to the list of points to be discussed, so that we can have a fruitful meeting.
