Re: (Keralavision) Sachin Pilot releases Text-to- Speech System in six
Indian languages including Malayalam
To say the least, it has become a fashion these days for the
non-governmental as well as governmental agencies to launch half
developed products by VIP's
like ministers and Give much publicity through all the medias
I don't understand what the visually impaired comunity or any such group
for that matter can benefit from such half developed and more or less
unusable
software.
I can safely say this as I was one of the members of the Malayalam TTS
developing team.
I worked with CDAC for two months as tester and trainer and there were
much bugs and shortcomings in the TTS which I myself and the trainees
expressed
yunanimously to the CDAC officials.
This was done a couple of months back and I don't think, they would have
fixed at least the bugs to launch the prodect still half developed.
In this context, I can't understand the importance or value of launching
such a product to which much modification and improvements were necessary.
It was told by the CDAC officials that, there will be a second face for
the development of this TTS.
We can all hope hoping against hope that, we will get something usable
after the promised second face.
However I am sure that, there will be another launching of the product
in some other pet names by some other VIP's and much media hipe if at
all there
will be a second face.

P. Balaraman.
