What we need now is implement the same features already implemented with espeak: * List the voices available. * Select the voice * Be able to pause/continue/stop the playing.
Other than that, we would need compare the voices, and maybe implement some configuration, to be able to select what backend use depending on the language. Just as a reference, I am trying to move the code doing text to speech in Sugar to the toolkit, then we wlll not need implement all this in the activities again. http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/Text_To_Speech_In_The_Toolkit On Sun, Oct 12, 2014 at 12:22 AM, Nurendra Choudhary < nurendrachoudhar...@gmail.com> wrote: > So, we will be using festival in sugar labs for text to speech feature > from now on. > > On Sun, Oct 12, 2014 at 8:23 AM, Flavio Danesse <fdane...@gmail.com> > wrote: > >> Hola gente, hoy me hice un rato para probar festival en la xo. >> Todo funciona perfecto, los paquetes necesarios están disponibles para >> instalarlos en la xo. >> >> Cambiar la funcionalidad de espeak por festival en aplicaciones sugar es >> muy sencillo, pero antes es necesario que incluyan en la imagen de sugar >> los siguientes paquetes: >> >> gstreamer-tools >> festival-speechtools-libs-1.2.96-21.fc18.i686 >> festival-lib-1.96-21.fc18.i686 >> festvox-slt-artic-hts-0.20061229-21.fc18.noarc >> festival-1.96-21.fc18.i686 >> >> >> 2014-10-07 13:42 GMT-02:00 Gonzalo Odiard <godi...@sugarlabs.org>: >> >>> Good, this is a start. >>> >>> We need two things to substitute espeak: >>> * We need svox packaged in fedora or rpmfusion >>> apparently is not completly free, then can't be included in fedora. >>> I wonder why is packaged on Debian. >>> Is already in the wish list for rpmusion [1] >>> If you are working on Ubuntu, probably is out of your confort zone :), >>> but many users of Sugar use the XO computers, and the distribution >>> installed is Fedora. >>> Maybe you can contact rpmfusion guys to get help moving this issue >>> >>> * We need mechanisms to get the same functionality already available on >>> espeak, >>> off the top of my head: >>> * get the list of languages availables >>> * get the best language for the selected locale. >>> * be able to pause/continue/stop a text played. >>> >>> Please subscribe to sugar-devel [2] and continue the conversation there. >>> >>> Gonzalo >>> >>> [1] http://rpmfusion.org/Wishlist >>> [2] http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel >>> >>> >>> On Tue, Oct 7, 2014 at 9:34 AM, Nurendra Choudhary < >>> nurendrachoudhar...@gmail.com> wrote: >>> >>>> Hi, >>>> >>>> I implemented a code in python using svoxpico you mentioned earlier for >>>> text to speech. >>>> The code can be found here. >>>> https://github.com/Akirato/sugarlabs-speak-module >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> On Tue, Oct 7, 2014 at 6:04 AM, Gonzalo Odiard <godi...@sugarlabs.org> >>>> wrote: >>>> >>>>> Most of our users don't have connnectivity available full time >>>>> >>>>> On Mon, Oct 6, 2014 at 9:13 PM, Nurendra Choudhary < >>>>> nurendrachoudhar...@gmail.com> wrote: >>>>> >>>>>> It is possible on a linux system but network connectivity is >>>>>> required.
