1. Project name : TalknType 2. Existing website, if any : http://wiki.laptop.org/go/TalknType 3. One-line description : A spelling game using speech synthesis, in the style of the Speak&Spell toy.
4. Longer description :
* Currently only a terminal
python program - needs sugarising...
* User opens the activity,
and is presented with a skill level (1 to 4).
* The activity speaks, using
the eSpeak Speech Synthesis software, which will soon be included in
OLPC builds.
* The activity asks the user
to spell a word from the dictionary (one of four, based on the skill
level).
* As the user types each
letter, the activity reads the letters out loud.
* When the user presses Enter,
the activity reads the entered letters as a word.
* The activity compares the
entered letters with the real word, and informs the user whether the
word was spelt correctly or not.
* Another random word is
offered for the user, etc, etc.
* In future, a more
collaborative version will allow you to test your spelling against a
friend, and compete on points.
* This activity would lend
itself well to Pootle translations, although multiple dictionary files
would be required.

6. Committer list
Please list the maintainer (lead developer) as the first entry. Only list
developers who need to be given accounts so that they can commit to your
project's code repository, or push their own. There is no need to list
non-committer developers.
Username Full name SSH2 key URL E-mail

If any developers don't have their SSH2 keys on the web, please attach them
to the application e-mail.
7. Preferred development model
[X] Central tree. Every developer can push his changes directly to the
project's git tree. This is the standard model that will be familiar to
CVS and Subversion users, and that tends to work well for most projects.
[ ] Maintainer-owned tree. Every developer creates his own git tree, or
multiple git trees. He periodically asks the maintainer to look at one
or more of these trees, and merge changes into the maintainer-owned,
"main" tree. This is the model used by the Linux kernel, and is
well-suited to projects wishing to maintain a tighter control on code
entering the main tree.
If you choose the maintainer-owned tree model, but wish to set up some
shared trees where all of your project's committers can commit directly,
as might be the case with a "discussion" tree, or a tree for an individual
feature, you may send us such a request by e-mail, and we will set up the
tree for you.
8. Set up a project mailing list:
[ ] Yes, named after our project name
[ ] Yes, named ______________________
[X] No
When your project is just getting off the ground, we suggest you eschew
a separate mailing list and instead keep discussion about your project
on the main OLPC development list. This will give you more input and
potentially attract more developers to your project; when the volume of
messages related to your project reaches some critical mass, we can
trivially create a separate mailing list for you.
If you need multiple lists, let us know. We discourage having many
mailing lists for smaller projects, as this tends to
stunt the growth of your project community. You can always add more lists
later.
9. Commit notifications
[ ] Notification of commits to the main tree should be e-mailed to the list
we chose to create above
[ ] A separate mailing list, <projectname>-git, should be created for commit
notifications
[X] No commit notifications, please
10. Shell accounts
As a general rule, we don't provide shell accounts to developers unless
there's a demonstrated need. If you have one, please explain here, and
list the usernames of the committers above needing shell access.
11. Translation
[X] Set up the laptop.org Pootle server to allow translation
commits to be made
[ ] Translation arrangements have already been made at _______________
12. Notes/comments:
I have very knowledge of programming - I'm just starting out, but
would like to learn more, and I think this would be a good project to
work on. Several of the programmers working on the ScreenReader
activity have expressed an interest in helping with this project.
