Hi Dinesh I have 3 requests: 1 for the Indian team: Let us have an Indic language TTS framework. What I mean is that all our Indian languages are phonetic based and the framework should deal it accordingly. Apart from our regular varnamala other sound can be given a unique number and addressed accordingly. This will make it faster to port any new language. If any other foreign language is phonetic based, they too can be accommodated. 2 Providing support for Mbrola TTS. Espeak has support for this TTS engine. Probably this is better sounding and it shall have better appeal to the users. Source: http://tcts.fpms.ac.be/synthesis/mbrola.html
To either the Indian or international team: 3 a tool to make inaccessible application manageable provide a way to make a user defined hotspots within the window of any application. This hotspot can be done by a blind user or even by sighted person one time and which can hold good even if the application is moved or resized. Once this hotspot is defined, a screen reader should be able to do the following, 1 Able to speak out a text string if the value gets changed. 2 Perform a mouse click action 3 Move the mouse pointer there 5 save / Share this hotspot with other users. 4 I had made this suggestion earlier which did not get implemented as yet: to unmute the soundcard and assign a predefined audio level each time NVDA is started. The purpose is when a system is shared with able bodied users, they tend to mute or reduce the audio level. This can be a workable fix for such situations. Should not be a big deal to implement but can be a very important featured mentioned here.
