Hi, In lenny, to make speakup speak with voxin (ibmtts), I used a connector. As it doesn't work anymore on squeeze, and debugging it is nearly impossible, I'm preparing a package for Debian: speechd-up. speechd-up allows to connect a speech synthetiser to speech-dispatcher and to speakup.
I've a strategic question to submit. There are 2 options: loading speakup and speakup_soft automatically at the starting of the daemon speechd-up. The advantage is that the user has immediately something which works. But maybe the user wants to use speechd-up without speakup. We can also choose not loading these modules automatically, but printing a message at the end of the installation, which says: "Add these modules to /etc/modules". As in espeakup, it let user do what he/she wants. But it introduces the need for him to do something. I think we should load at every starting of the daemon. Because speechd-up or espeakup has no sense without speakup modules. But it's my opinion, I'd like to know if you agree. If you do, maybe we could apply to espeakup the same change. I wait for your opinion. Then I'll send the package and ask for sponsor. Regards, Jean-Philippe MENGUAL -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
