the first demo of cocoon that I ever did in public was a hello world
page in html, pdf, svg and voicexml, with the little merlin dude
speaking 'hello world' to the audience (got a standing ovation for
that!) It always bugged me that I needed an external tool for that
that worked only on windows... but I found this.
Have no time, but it would be cool if somebody could write a
voicexml->wav serializer using that (it's BSD).
This really would be cool. Over on Forrest we have a whiteboard
VoiceXML plugin (donated by a GSoC student who did not get an award
but still got us started on the plugin, thanks HANAX). This plugin
renders any Forrest page as voice XML. Currently it only works with
VoiceXML enabled browsers (e.g. Opera on Windows), a serialiser would
be great, even better if we can then stream the result.
There's more to VoiceXML than just text-to-speech. You should have a
look at JVoiceXML [1], a VoiceXML browser that uses Freetts. It's LGPL
though.
