Hello everybody, it’s been some time that I wrote on these lists regarding my plans to build a speech generating device. In the mean time, I’ve spent some effort on the subject and started both configuring a device and writing an application for my purposes.
Since I got some feedback on these lists back then, I’d like to share what I achieved so far. Maybe it is of interest for some people out there. The preliminary result is Max TTS <https://launchpad.net/max-tts>. It initially started as a text-to-speech frontend for OpenMary (thus the name, a pun on the film Mary & Max). It soon turned out that, for my purposes, readable on-screen text output is even more important. Max TTS is heavily tailored towards my needs, so there might be some features and polish missing. But I’d like to share my efforts nevertheless, and encourage people to adapt it to their needs. I plan to extend it as required. I currently run Max on a Dell Duo, which is a fascinating device for this purpose: Its rotatable screen allows to write with the screen readable by the person vis-à-vis. But it can also be used on ordinary notebooks or tablets. Feedback welcome!
