Hi, No thing to mind. It is an obvious question. Few days ago, I have posted an email clarifying why non-Unicode fonts can not be read by a TTS. For your knowledge, I am again pasting the full texts of the mail below.
Hi lists, Many friends are regularly complaining me that my Wachak of any language could not read the Ansi format texts. Some one even has doubted me. Yes it does not read. Fundamentally it reads but produces the meaningless speech! What is the reason? Dear friends, there are two type of format of text. One is ANSI and another is Unicode. The texts in which your screen reader is producing a meaningless speech is the ANSI encoded text which are not possible to be read by any of the TTS. Why? Because they are not your language fonts. They are English Fonts. These fonts are designed in such a way that they look like your language letters at the screen but in computer memory they are recorded as an English Fonts. In other words, for computer, they are English fonts but in the eye of a sited person, they appear as your language texts. Imagine a gentleman is walking at a street wearing ladies dress, he looks like a women but in reality he is a male. Same case prevails here. The Ansi format letters look as your language texts but they are english Font texts. But the unicode texts are really your language font texts which are read with meaningful way by my wachak or any text reader. The ANSI font texts are a great headache to VI persons in computer accessibility. This problem prevails in all languages of this sub continent including my Nepali. This obstacle will continued till the sited persons will remain 'blind by mind...". what is the solution? There are two ways. 1. Completely abandon the ANSI format and Write all text in unicode format. But the 'blind by mind' sited world will not do it easily because intheir eyes the ANSI texts appear as their language texts. This is a problem only to the 'blind by eyes' persons. 2. Develope a ANSI to Unicode Font converter tool, convert the text to unicode before reading and use the existing text reader like Wachak. I had developed a special tool named Varnakriti Paribartak, a ANSI to unicode font converter for Nepali. As a result, my language fellow are free from this barriers. However, I can not do the same for your language without an intensive help of a sited local language speaker who has a full knowledge of ANSI and Unicode format in his/her language. You can search such converter tools of your language font texts at web, and if existed, it will be a temporary solution. Otherwise, your dream of accessing the ANSI character text becomes an utopia.
