Hello, I'm sorry but out of curiosity I have a quick question.
>From looking at the KDETTS page shown below it looks like the plan is not to necessarily have a screen reader for KDE but to try to get indevidual application developers to include support for speech output via the KDETTS sub-system. I may be reading that wrong. If so, could someone enlighten me? It would seem like an absolutely crazy idea to go down that route so I'm sure I'm missing something. In case I'm not, How do the developers of KDETTS think that developers of applications will know what information needs to be spoken in their applications? Consistancy will go out the window! http://accessibility.kde.org/developer/kttsd/ Quote from page: It is hoped that more programmers will begin adding speech capabilities to their KDE programs using KTTS. Eventually, when Qt 4 is distributed, it is hoped that Screen Readers will be adapted to use KTTS. End of quote. Second quote: Provide a lightweight and easily usable interface for applications to generate speech output. End of quote. Quote 3: KTTS -- KDE Text-to-Speech -- is a subsystem within the KDE desktop for conversion of text to audible speech. KTTS is currently under development and aims to become the standard subsystem for all KDE applications to provide speech output. End of quote.
