Generic-purpose voice recognition does not work very well. For particular purpose it may work not so bad. We have very little libre software for that, however.

Should I > keep it so? Yes, that's OK. localechooser's choices are always in English and the menu text is not translatable, on purpose. The point is allowing someone to come back in case (s)he picked the wrong language...and still have something understandable..:) A side effect was the situation you mention. It never bothered us enough to include a hack to switch everything back to English prior to the 2nd menu display So, imho, keep your patch as is. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Quoting Samuel Thibault (sthiba...@debian.org): > Ok, does the attached patch sound sane? (it does work in my tests at least) I didn't answer the question directly in my previous answer. Yes it sounds sane, so you're welcome to apply it (and even upload if you wish...no problem for me). Thanks for this great work. I have to try out this speech synthesis thing some day. That's indeed interesting to have an accessibility thing that everybody can see (^Whear)the benefit of. It probably even makes a great demo. Could we imagine, some day, having this combined with a voice-command interface? signature.asc Description: Digital signature

retitle 630477 Switch speech synthesis thanks Hello, Christian PERRIER, le Wed 15 Jun 2011 07:25:28 +0200, a écrit : > introducing some changes in localechooser script to switch voice after > the language is chosen. Ok, does the attached patch sound sane? (it does work in my tests at least) There is one glitch in the main menu BTW. I don't know if it is on purpose that the language question is always asked in english, but the title is asked in the previously-selected language, which makes some sort of mixture. I mean for instance: - boot the installer - choose the french language - don't choose a country, go back to language question - the debconf title for language question is in french, while the actual question is in english. In my patch, I make localechooser switch back to english for the language question, even if the title is in the local language. Should I keep it so?
