Hi, I am writing this now in full, smiley, after Cara got on my case about it. I was in a rush earlier. I appologize. Here are the details.
ISpeak, a project to port the eSpeak speech engine natively to the Mac is kicking off this month. Hosted by VIPBC.org, the project will allow the eSpeak voices to be used in all speech enabled applications including Voiceover. All people who are interested in participating are asked to keep an eye on http://www.vipbc.org/ . Below is a list of possible jobs that need filling. Jobs: - Perl programmer - OBJ-C programmer - Packager/Installer creator - Documentationalist - Issue Tracker Such positions are open for most open-source AWEBSIGHT/ICE VIPBC.org projects.
