These are a few issues I want to tackle with respect to speech-synthesis on the XO:
1. Provide a Play button on the top right corner of the sugar shell. (How can i integrate the button there?) 2. When the user clicks it becomes a resume button. (Where do i write code for handling these clicks? Any specific files of sugar?) 3. When the button is clicked the text on the clipboard is sent through the speech-dispatcher for speech synthesis. (I 'll simply use the gtk clipboard api for this) 4. If the user hovers on the button for long, a palette appears exposing the speech synthesis parameters. It has sliders for changing rate,pitch and volume and a drop down box for choosing the voice. 5. These configuration settings must be stored in some place on the XO so that they can be retrieved when the XO reboots, or the palette is shown again. 6. How can I automate the process of connecting to the speech-dispatcher when the XO boots, and load all the configuration settings? 7. When the palette disappears the new settings are stored in some location so that they can be retrieved when the xo reboots or the palette pops up again. I have opened a ticket for inclusion of speech-dispatcher on the XO and hope the request will be accepted soon: http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/6284 I am afraid I dont have much experience with programming to solve the above problems. Any ideas would be great pointers! Thanks! -- Hemant
