Bard Storyteller 0.7 http://festvox.org/bard/
Bard Storyteller is free software, distributed under a BSD-like license. See http://festvox.org/bard/README for details New in 0.7 has Epub support (and initial image support) Text highlighting based on (x)html in epub. Bug fixes -- (I used it a lot to read books) Fixes in audio streaming so it "gargles" less Smooth Scroll fixes Cursor hiding For epub support you must have libzip, SDL_image and SDL_gfx support. SDL_image and SDL_gfx are already available on the Ben Nanonote. An ipk package file for libzip is included. 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 0.7. The new support for generalized token streams requires an updated version of flite. The next improvements on the immediate horizon are: Better voices (that are fast enough, which is currently our problem) better voices are fully 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
