Bug#707196: Activate software speech synthesiser in KDE too (for desktop=kde installs)?
Quoting Petter Reinholdtsen (p...@hungry.com): Package: espeakup-udeb Version: 1:0.71-13 Severity: wishlist User: debian-...@lists.debian.org Usertags: debian-edu The Wheezy installer have a very nice option to get the installer to speak, and if this is enabled the configuration is passed on to Gnome to continue the load speaking experience also after boot. But when installing using desktop=kde, the resulting desktop is not configured to speak up. Could espeakup-udeb be extended to install and set up the required packages for a KDE desktop too? I am not sure what should be installed or set up, but have read somewhere that KDE uses festival for its load speaking abilities. Even if KDE isn't using espeakup, I suspect it do not make sense to provide several speakup mechanism within d-i, and that the espeakup-udeb package should handle KDE speakup too. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen It's probably worth bringing the debian-accessibility people in the loop. Hence, doing so. -- signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Actually espeakup-udeb is maintained by debian-accessibility so it was already in the loop :) Samuel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

From what I understand, kde offers ktts and jovie. I don't know that the combination constitutes a full screen reader solution though and it may not be feasible to extend espeakup into kde.

I don't know that the combination constitutes a full screen reader solution though and it may not be feasible to extend espeakup into kde. The plan, so far as I understand it, was ultimately to use Orca to make KDE accessible. However, this is still very much work in progress on the KDE side, with support for AT-SPI now integrated into QT. I don't think it would be a good idea to support it as an installer option until it's actually usable. I'm not sufficiently aware of the current status to know when this is likely to happen, other than that the AT-SPI support was merged into QT 5, to which KDE will be upgraded. (Prior to QT 5, you need to install the qt-at-spi package and set an environment variable.) I don't know how much work needs to be done to make the desktop compatible with QT accessibility interfaces and hence with AT-SPI. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
