TTS is not a big problem. eSpeak is available for Android (via the Eyes-Free project), and I think CMU Flite is too. I added 'generate with tags' mode to lt-proc for exactly this purpose, but a wrapper to pick out the ambiguous words and annotate with, say, SSML would be needed (not a whole lot of work, though). ASR is more of a problem. PocketSphinx is available for Android, but there are very few languages with available acoustic models. (If you want to help to change that, VoxForge (http://www.voxforge.org/) are building open data for ASR). The English model is relatively well developed, but they have models for other languages. > write about topics -and apps- suggested by readers.

I'd assume that nobody has, marketing is not a project strong point. If you have ideas about how we can change that, I know I'd love to hear them. -- <Sefam> Are any of the mentors around? <jimregan> yes, they're the ones trolling you ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Minimize network downtime and maximize team effectiveness.
