Re: Ubuntu-accessibility Digest, Vol 54, Issue 12

2010-05-13 Thread Tom Lloyd
I posted the bug about super+m and compiz negative. The way to change it is to 
install the compiz config manager and then change the preferred key combination 
to something like ctrl+super+m for negative.

The negative plug-in by default on 10.04 is broken. You also have to change the 
exclude value in the negative configuration and delete the contents to get it 
to work. Sometimes it does other times is doesn't with the default settings. As 
of yesterday. Again i have posted a bug report on this matter.

The disadvantage of doing this is that the desktop background is also inverted. 
But a least the rest of it works.

 Hi All,
 
 
 I have been moving house and knee deep in elbow grease
 without internet. I now have broadband and spare time to
 start working on the SAPI project again. As the project is
 still in its infancy I have found a small following of
 people interested but no one really helping on development.
 
 
 People with skills in:
 
 Speech-dispatcher modules
 SAPI , XML
 C  commandline tools
 
 There is no one else helping at the moment.
 
 If people could suggest forums, groups, communities that
 might be interested in this project could you forward a
 message on for me or suggest the groups to me directly, not
 to the main group as this a slightly off topic. I do not
 know of many groups so any information would be great.
 
 
 Message to forward...
 
 Open SAPI - http://code.google.com/p/open-sapi/
 
 A new open source text to speech project needs your help.
 The Open-SAPI project has bought the Microsoft Speech Engine
 into Linux and any other operating systems supported by WINE
 - http://www.winehq.org/.
 
 Currently we have a working example in Ubuntu using Orca,
 Speech Dispatcher and Gnome. 
 
 Instructions for installation / development fron SVN can be
 found on the main project page.
 
 Any help, feedback or suggestion would be greatly
 appreciated at the discussion group - http://groups.google.com/group/open-sapi
 
 Thanks all,
 
 Tom

Dust off those SAPI speech engines, Open SAPI is open for business :)

 Hey All,
 
 Please note the code is incomplete but works, details on
 the wiki are incomplete please ask questions join in and
 help out. 
 
 The wiki for the Open SAPI project now has details on how
 to setup a development enviroment to get the SAPI engine
 running under wine. This will run with speech-dispatcher and
 orca, not brilliantly and ever so buggy but it is a work in
 progress.
 
 It will only get better with your input. I have had the
 system running very nicely but during a rework i have
 managed to introduce some bugs.  
 
 http://code.google.com/p/open-sapi/
 
 There is a discussion group to ask questions and make
 suggestions and comments which will help me  others add
 more detail to the wiki.
 
 http://groups.google.com/group/open-sapi
 
 Any help is welcome, wiki writers, developers, SAPI engine
 owners. 
 
 I know it does not work brilliantly at the moment so please
 do not reply with it does not work. Any
 constructive feedback is welcomed.
 
 Please post this to any other sites, mailing lists and
 forums where people might be interested especially other
 distros and Mac.
 
 Tom

Check this thread out for the information on ALSA configuration and hardware. I 
am currently experimenting with PulseAudio and trying to see if you can 
configure it to be more responsive. I am forced to use PulseAudio as my ATI 
Graphics card HDMI only supports ALSA and not hardware mixing.
