Hi, I am working on a set of scripts for Linux to handle voice generation for Rockbox. I have a script that can create .talk files for directories and files. the only thing that is missing is a file to create speech for the menus etc. I downloaded the RB source and read through the perl scripts, but I don't have much experience with perl and got lost rather quickly. The reason I am trying to get all of this functionality in to bash scripts is because the Rockbox utility does not work with Orca, the screen reader for Linux. Also, it is rather nice to have the ability to generate .talk files in the right click menu.
I suggest looking at voice.pl, which is integrated into the build system and already supports several TTS systems. If you can use orca from the shell, it shouldn't be a problem to add it to voice.pl.
See http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/VoiceBuilding#Using_Linux_or_Cygwin for how to use it.
