Hi Quentin, This sounds great. Besides making this available to C/C++ developers I still think it is important we also make a .Net version as C# .NET and VB .NET are still viable languages for Windows.
I know we talked about this some and got side tracked, but do you want to work with me to port this API to .NET? I'd be more than happy to take the current source and see what I can do to create a .NET version so that the .NET languages will work with this API as well. As far as Linux goes I think the best thing to do for the time being is merely write a wrapper for Speech-Dispatcher. Speech-Dispatcher is considered to be the common speech API on Linux now, and we might as well put it to use. It supports Festival, ESpeak, Cepstral, Eloquence, and the Ivona voices. While support isn't perfect for all of these TTS engines it will make our job easier by wrapping an API that already exists. If we want braille all we need to do is build a wrapper for Brltty and we have speech and braille on Linux. While I haven't done much programming with either I don't think it is all that complex.
