Hi Gilles, I was maybe radical in my last email but there are for me now several reasons to prefer emacs + speechd-el + speech dispatcher + festival + FranFest + mbrola to emacspeak. At least :
- First since freebsoft was developed by Czech speakers it is design to be multilingual. Emacspeak was dedicated to english and it is difficult to adapt it. - Secondly speechd-el is implemented in a more modern way hence more modular etc ... - Finally you certainly know that it was extremely difficult to have contacts with emacspeak developers whereas it is very easy to talk with Milan to improve features in speechd-el. If you are interested in a French/English version of emacs + speechd-el / etc .... I am working on it know. Only a few lines of lisp/scheme codes should be written. Moreover it is reasonably possible to use the high level modules of emacspeak (i.e. modules above emacspeak-speak) with speechd-el. I may be appreciated by people who are used to work with emacspeak. I cannot insure that I will do that very soon. Finally Roger Mampey and I think that it would be a reasonable goal to make FranFest compatible with the speech dispatcher.
