Well fine. I PERSONALLY don't know where to look. I suppose Apple's developer 
documentation. Lol hope that helps. And if it doesn't, then email apple and 
complain to them.

Yet you say no one knows where to find documentation? That's pretty ugly
to me.

But, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. We all know that, no?

Right. If a simple hacker can do it, any developer can. Its not a walled garden 
if you have the skills to climb over the wall, and IMHO, the flowers are 
beautiful in Apple's garden, and fake in Google's.

So, we're going round in circles here.

Is Apple a walled garden that keeps others out? No, say some, because
Acapela has ported their voices, and someone has hacked Eloquence to
work.

But, no one knows where to learn how to do it? That's a "walled garden"
in my book. It's one of the less attractive things about Apple, imo.

 I am trying to teach myself new testament greek.  I was wondering if 
 anyone has tested learning a biblical language on the mac with voiceover.  
 Just was curious to see how that might work with voiceover as far as 
 pronunciations and things like that.  Thanks,
 Brian

OK, so where is the process documented? If I wanted to compile espeak

The thing is that espeak does not work with voiceover from what i know.
No one seems willing to compile it for voiceover either.

Nope. There's Acapella Infovox, and the hacked Eloquence that works with VO too.

Oh dear. That really is too bad. I guess the walled garden can sometimes
be a 5-star luxury prison.

So, all voices have to go through Apple itself? I guess that's the
implication.

Re: biblical greek on the mac

2015-08-07 Thread Janina Sajka
Hi,

I'm just now catching up on this list and note no one suggested trying
espeak for osx. Yes, it's a formant voice. However, it does provide a
Classical Greek varient, and the maintainer is very supportive of
specific suggestions for improving pronunciation.

http://espeak.sf.net

I have wondered, however, whether Classical Greek is what we really need
for Biblical study, as the New Testament is in Koine Greek. Here again,
I suspect Jonathan, the maintainer of espeak, would be supportive of
building and providing a Koine voice, if some expert might give him
specifics on what needs to be different. I would imagine Koine is
relatively close to Classical Greek, as the time difference is only a
few centuries.

No, they don’t although it would seem logical.  and that’s because classical 
Greek has different or rather more numerous marks over the letters which 
Voiceover doesn’t interpret in speech.  It just ignores them.

 Hi Brian,
 
 I speak modern Greek and there's no problem with that because:
 1.  AssistiveWare.com has a modern Greek voice Dimitris, which is very

 a modern Greek keyboard layout as well as ancient Greek keyboard which you 
 can add to your keyboards.
 
 You can change both keyboards and voices on the fly.
 
 I don't think that ancient / biblical Greek is going to work with these 
 voices because the letters with the diacritic marks that are used are not 
 recognised by Voiceover nor by any other voices mentioned above.  But do 
 check it out yourself.  you can easily add Apple's Greek voices to the 
 selection of voices on the mac, activate the appropriate keyboard and 
 confirm this.  I had no success with it when I got a piece of biblical 
 text from somebody.
 
 I'm sorry not to have better news for you.

Hi Brian,

If you manage to have the problem solved, would you mind writing me off-list to 
share how you and Ben have achieved this?  I may need Ancient Greek at some 
point as well.

Thanks and good luck

Hi Brian,

On my mac, I use Greek Braille tables with my refreshable Braille display 
and the table is in grade 1 Braille so I didn't have to learn much in order 
to read.  I have very little experience of the Greek grade 2 Braille as i 
have no access to their Braille paper literature.  On the mac side, you can 
choose Greek Braille table in Voiceover utility under the Braille tab. 
Incidentally, the Greek table on the mac also works fine for English so I 
don't have to switch Braille tables all the time.  I just have the table set 
to Greek and it works for both English and Greek.


Hope things are going to work out for you.

Best wishes

Brian, get ahold of Ben, he does this type stuff all the time, and I know he 
could help you.  He's even got a braille display as well.  As you may 
recall, he's a huge huge huge language guy.


His e-mail is:

bbloomg...@icloud.com

I know he'd be more than happy to help you!

I won't publish it here, but do you still has his number?  I know he gave it 
to you at one point.


Chris.

Hello all,
I am trying to teach myself new testament greek.  I was wondering if anyone 
has tested learning a biblical language on the mac with voiceover.  Just was 
curious to see how that might work with voiceover as far as pronunciations 
and things like that.  Thanks,

Brian

No problem Andrew.  That definitely helps though.  Right now I am digging in to 
a greek text in braille.  I am very overwhelmed by the greek braille code.  I 
wish there was a supplemental greek braille code manual that I could use while 
trying to learn Greek.  Right now, I am struggling trying to understand how the 
greek braille code works.

Hi Brian,

I speak modern Greek and there's no problem with that because:
1.  AssistiveWare.com has a modern Greek voice Dimitris, which is very good, 
2. and Apple provides a modern Greek voice Melina and Nikos.  Mac also has a 
modern Greek keyboard layout as well as ancient Greek keyboard which you can 
add to your keyboards.

You can change both keyboards and voices on the fly.

I don't think that ancient / biblical Greek is going to work with these voices 
because the letters with the diacritic marks that are used are not recognised 
by Voiceover nor by any other voices mentioned above.  But do check it out 
yourself.  you can easily add Apple's Greek voices to the selection of voices 
on the mac, activate the appropriate keyboard and confirm this.  I had no 
success with it when I got a piece of biblical text from somebody.

I'm sorry not to have better news for you.

Andrew
