Speak uses the speech synthesizer espeak which includes support for
adding languages. Here is a place to start:

I have played with PyODE, but not on the XO. http://

I suspect that the XO would not be able to handle a realistic 3D
simulation with a large number of objects. This is partially due to
the lack of GL for rendering.
Simpler things, like wireframe rendering, 2D simula

I implemented the save/load feature of Speak without fully
understanding the other options. Now that I've seen the recent
discussion about data vs instance vs the journal I think it would make
more sense to have Speak save its state in a different way.
On the other hand, the new frame redes
I'm trying to make Speak pick its default accent based on the native
language of the laptop (per Walter's request http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/6656
) This is a bit different from normal localization - although I
need to do that also - because it is not just replacing strings. My
guess is
Great. This seems to be working. I've updated Speak to v5.

Chris, this is most excellent!
I have a demo activity written in C/C++ that uses the same underlying

I spent several hours over the past week trying to use SWIG to make

This is an awesome idea. A couple of people have contacted me to ask

Have you actually tried the existing process for adding a voice?

My daughter's XO is full, but mine has over 400 GB free. Both laptops
are running 767. I ran 'du -sk|sort -n' in various places starting
at / and as far as I can tell the difference is that her /versions/
pristine is twice as large as mine (roughly 1GB instead of 500MB).
How can I free up

Hi everyone,
I made a new activity called Speak. It is a talking face for the

speech synthesizer, espeak. You can adjust the accent, rate and pitch
of the voice as well as the shape of the eyes and mouth. This is a

Some screensaver APIs have a method to defer sleep/screensaver by a
given amount instead of turning it off entirely. This would let you
solve the issue without fear of accidentally disabling it permanently
(for example if your activity crashes before turning it back on).
