Re: [Sugar-devel] Text-to-speech on the XO 1.5 with 10.1.3
Gonzalzo, Thanks for your help with this. I can see now pasting text into Speak. And I understand about Read Ebooks. What the teachers were asking for was for the ability to have text read in Browse and Write. The use case would be highlighting text and then taking some action which results in the text being spoken by the XO. Let me know if you need more detail or information. Thanks again.

Speak uses espeak via command line, as Chris pointed out. I found that in the source too. I didn't find anything in Chat. In 10.1.3, apart from Speak, I'm not aware of a way to either: - select some text and press a button to have it read out. - tab to screen objects and have them read out. Both these features are available in other contexts for sight impaired usage. I've no idea if that is what was required. There appears to be some way to use Alt/Shift/S to deliver the current selection to a speech proxy via DBus, but it doesn't do anything for me on 10.1.3. sugar.git/src/jarabe/view/keyhandler.py -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/ ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

Hello all. I am working with some teachers and students using XO 1.5 and version 10.1.3 of the software. The teachers really want to make use of a text to speech functionality. I can't seem to find out how this works. I would appreciate any help you can offer. Thanks. Gerald ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
[PATCH 2/2] osbuilder: skip obvious tmp and backup files

Makes life much easier when using a development copy
of OOB -- avoids running the temp files emacs creates.
Based on ye olde run-parts, plus a few obvious ones.

But then if a user is advanced enough to install another proxy, they would know how to adjust wwwoffle's settings as well. I gotta say...I've run a number of proxies, and squid has been the most efficient and configurable. I use it at home and get a very high hit rate. There are other proxies, apache comes up on the list, but squid really takes the cake.
