AUDIO ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY (angelo)

Hi Angelo, Sorry I have been ever so lacks at reading the mailing list and have only just seen your reference to my open sapi project. The project has ground to a halt a the moment through lack of time and effort on my part. I am only only one developing on the project and have not seen any

How and where to develop

Hi Pia, Thought i would point you in the direction of Vinux that is ubuntu based. They are welcoming contributions that improve accessibility and I am sure could benefit from your efforts. Ubuntu are making noises about including some of there developments into the main distro but I ave no

New/bored developers

Hi Lesley, Slightly selfish of myself I could do with a month or so input from a C/C++ guy for a speech dispatcher to opensapi interface. This is basically writing a middle man to handle messages and audio data from the SAPI engine into speech dispatcher and pulse. Anyone else go some bandwidth

Sound issues 10.04

Hi Guys, Just got 10.04 running in a virtual machine. I have some sound output issues, which is a big stumbling block. The sound under wine seem to drop out for about one second and then cut back in. I am using this for tts generation so if you can imagine that I am getting This a test of the

Re: Sound issues 10.04

The possibilities are endless but to give us a bit of a clue I think it is a pulseaudio issue that is fixed by using the experimental packages found in Neils ppa. https://launchpad.net/~neil-aldur I just added the ppa and updated the software from it, I was not paying that much attention but i

Speech Dispatcher Woes

Hi All, Here is a quick question for the speechd/orca guys. I am using Ubuntu 9.10 with the latest git version of speechd built today. What I am experiencing at the moment is that about five seconds after running orca I get the message that something has hung and orca exits. This only seems an

Re: Donations to Ubuntu accessibility

Well maybe there could be an open source accessibility charity started that hold the funds. This could be used to help fund projects that are seen to better accessibility in the open source community. I use my project as an example if there was a strong opinion around the community that a large

Wrong audfio system?

:D I have seen a mention of my project by someone who matters. Thanks Luke even if it was in passing. At least someone knows about it. The point of progress is mean to improve the overall experience for users of any system but there is always a time where some users do not see all the benefits

Karmic Praise

I want to befend karmic as not being so horrible and useless as everyone likes to make out. In my opinion pulse audio has been a great addition to Ubuntu. For my project open-sapi now out performs e-speak making for a smooth and responsive desktop experience when using text to speech with orca.

SAPI in Ubuntu

Please check out my Project here: http://code.google.com/p/open-sapi/ Give me an idea of what your trying to do and i can give you some help. SAPI 5 is working but it is stable enough yet for use as an alternative to the current speech engines in Linux whne used with a screen reader. Tom --

Cygwin / Dragon / SAPI / Linux

Hi, Not sure if you have tried Cygwin but that does allow you to open both a full gnome desktop and individual applications within windows and in theory should allow you to control the system remotely over ssh via Dragon. You can run the system full screen and you would not know that you were

PulseAudio pesistent volume

Any ideas how to get PulseAudio to save the last volume level at logout and when the next user sessions loads it will set the master volume back to the same level. At the moment it sets it back to 100% each time. Now I have switched off the login sounds to save my ears and sanity. Tom --

Microsofts speech engines in Ubuntu

Hi All Just checking in again to give a small progress report and let you know what is going on or not as the case might be. I have managed to get the whole system working, identify the bugs in wine and have workable solutions. At the moment the command line interface is about 50% done the

Re: Vibuntu the most accessible Ubuntu Linux live cd for the Visually Impaired EVA III

I also agree that the claim of the first accessible Linux is a tad far fetched and maybe the most accessible Ubuntu Linux live cd for the Visually Impaired. Is more accurate? We all fall victim to claims of self grandeur at times, especially when it our baby. I think that the proof is in the

Re: Ubuntu-accessibility Digest, Vol 37, Issue 6

I think this information might find a useful place on the homepage for the distro. Tom KEYSTROKES... What follows is a list of keystrokes you can use to control the screen-reader and magnification software. I will only provide a few basic keystrokes for Orca to get you started as
