The main, and probably only reason is that SD already conveniently provides backends for several engines like espeak, so there was no direct need to write a native driver for espeak in BRLTTY. Additionally, the philosophy of SD to allow shared access to speech synthesis by several "cleints" like BRLTTY or Orca is a desireable property. > The main question is, however, the one how many ressources would be > needed for this development? As soneone who once wrote the initial code for the flite driver, I can say it takes a few hours and a determined person. Its not really rocket science to write a speech driver. > Any ideas, statements etc.? My gut feeling still is that we should attempt to fix the actual problem, namely speech-dispatcher crashing with espeak, instead of writing yet another speech driver. -- CYa, ⡍⠁⠗⠊⠕ | Debian Developer <URL:http://debian.org/> .''`. | Get my public key via finger mlang/[EMAIL PROTECTED] : :' : | 1024D/7FC1A0854909BCCDBE6C102DDFFC022A6B113E44 `. `' `- <URL:http://delysid.org/> <URL:http://www.staff.tugraz.at/mlang/> _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
