Re: [Wikitech-l] Text-to-speech extension?
Hoi, Are screen readers supported ? But do they understand what is the cruft that is on a page, the kind of cruft that you do not want to get read out to you?

[Wikitech-l] Text-to-speech extension?
Hello, and thank you for your work, I was looking at the Librivox project today and I thought that it'd be great to have voice support in Mediawiki, to aid people with sight impairments or disabilities. So I was wondering whether there is a text-to-speech extension for Mediawiki, or if there could be some other means of offering wiki pages in audio form. Thanks for your time as well, Ilias K. ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
Re: [Wikitech-l] Text-to-speech extension?
I'm not disabled myself, but I do see the benefits in such a venture, and assuming there is text-to-speech program with a MediaWiki friendly API (or at least can hook into MediaWiki fairly well) that could be used as a backend, I would think this would not only be possible, but a great idea.
