Bard Storyteller 0.6 http://festvox.org/bard/
Bard Storyteller is a text reader. Bard not only allows a user to read books, but can also read books to a user using text-to-speech. Bard Storyteller is free software, distributed under a BSD-like license. See http://festvox.org/bard/README for details New in 0.6: Smooth Scroll Screen Blanking User specifiable colors (see README) Some keyboard rationalization Support for other platforms (Nokia n900) Lots of bug fixes I have standardized the use of the volume key on the nanonote to control volume, scroll speed or page up/down depending on whether its speaking, scrolling or in idle position. Note you must update your version of flite (again) to complie 0.6. The next improvements on the immediate horizon are: XHTML and epub support (through libepub from ebook-tools) Better voices (that are fast enough, which is currently our problem) better voices are full supported on faster platforms Alan W Black email: [email protected] Language Technologies Institute http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~awb/ Carnegie Mellon University tel: +1-412-268-6299 5000 Forbes Ave, Pittsburgh PA, 15213, USA. fax: +1-412-268-6298 _______________________________________________ Qi Hardware Discussion List Mail to list (members only): [email protected] Subscribe or Unsubscribe: http://lists.en.qi-hardware.com/mailman/listinfo/discussion
