Yep. Speech synthesis is a functionality (singular) that can be provided by different (types of) devices. A speech synthesis device would be something like a "speech synthesizer" (which could be plural), but I doubt that's a common term. But when it comes to e.g. a section header, you can probably just use "Speech synthesis" (if it e.g. describes the availability of the functionality rather than its implementation in specific devices). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
