Hi James,
As noted here before, using a multi-threaded activity interferes with power
management. Read Etexts will have functioning power management if
speech-dispatcher is not installed, but will not if it is installed, even if
you never use the Speech feature. I know Hemant Goyal
Hi James,
The point I was trying to make was that the Sugar API itself could have
removed the burden of setting these options from the developer.
Yes that is indeed what is happening :). And there is no API call involved
whatsoeverl with the present design :). Perhaps once the code is released
Hi,
What is the need for speech-dispatcher to run as root? Is it possible
to run it as non-root? We need to modify the speechd.conf files from a
non-root program and as such run the speech-dispatcher daemon with
non-root privileges.
To solve the above problem I applied the setuid bits to the
Hi James,
It is like putting a hole through a city wall into a house which is
built against the wall, and then telling the city guards to stand
outside the house as well as the city gate.
Practical, very handy, but extends the safety barrier to include the
setuid program code.
It means
Hi,
I had written a mail to the speechd community regarding the problems that
James was facing some time back.
Hi,
James is using speech-dispatcher on the OLPC laptop. I would just like to
ask in the speechd community what is the exact meaning of the following
espeak.log messages. (I get
Hi James, Assim,
I've built the OLPC specific package for speech-dispatcher with the reduced
set of dependencies.
You can grab the RPMS for OLPC-2 and OLPC-3 stream from

Hi,
I had recently requested a review request for my python-dotconf pakage for
my GSOC project in the Fedora community. I have not received a formal review
of my package there till now. Its a really small python package and I do not
think it needs more work/modification.
Can anyone in the OLPC
Hi Hynek,
I was working on the parser the whole day today, and have developed
something that we can at least start working with. I like the idea of simply
commenting out the parameters instead of deleting them. That will require me
to make certain changes to the current code, I'll make those
Hello Hynek,
I can't speak for DotConf, but Speech Dispatcher would surely benefit.
That's really good news, I am glad the code will prove useful to the speechd
community as well.
When there are several lines with the same parameter name,
this should be treated as an enumeration or a list.
Hi,

Hi Lukas,
I am working on a project to integrate speech-dispatcher (which uses

and unfortunately python bindings of dotconf are not available.

Hi all,
Great thanks all for the feedback and detailed discussions about this
problem. I'll wait before modifying the API for a while in such a scenario.

Hi Edward,
Ubuntu packages are already available for speech-dispatcher, espeak, and
festival, so it isn't difficult to set up a demo. You can use apt-get. You
would have to modify a configuration file to use the espeak module (not
espeak-generic) and you would have to start

Hi,
It s great to see many other developers sharing the idea we have been trying
to implement right within the Sugar Environment.
We have been working on integrating speech-synthesis into Sugar for quite
some time now. You can check out our ideas here :
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Screen_Reader
These are a few issues I want to tackle with respect to speech-synthesis on
the XO:
1. Provide a Play button on the top right corner of the sugar shell.
(How can i integrate the button there?)
2. When the user clicks it becomes a resume button. (Where do i write
code for handling
be directly usable/suitable
for use on the XO or it should be modified to make it simpler to use?
2. How can we request for inclusion of the speech-dispatcher daemon
services and libraries on the XO?
Thanks!

Hi Joshua,
Can this or the Screen Reader project be adapted to reading content,
such as the children's picturebooks provided in the Library? (We would

like to take some time in properly planning our approach and

It'll be nice if experts could share their ideas and provide us with some
direction for this project.
Thank you and wishing you all a very Happy New Year.
