I'd like to announce Mythspeech, which makes it easier for the blind
and/or visually impaired to use MythTV, an open source DVR (digital
video recorder).
Information about MythTV can be found here: http://www.mythtv.org/
It is supported by Ubuntu and there is a Ubuntu based distribution
customized specifically for MythTV, Mythbuntu: http://www.mythbuntu.org/
More details about Mythspeech can be found here:
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythSpeech
Mythspeech is not a perfect solution, but I'm told by one user:
"Maria is VERY happy with her talking MythTV, and it has made her life
so much easier!"
How imperfect is the current implementation of mythspeech? One glaring
example is that it cannot help with the initial setup and
configuration of MythTV. I think you will need some vision or a friend
or family member who can help with this step.
I would very much like to talk to developers with experience in
accessibility. The current implementation of Mythspeech builds on
MythTV's support for LCD displays and uses speech-dispatcher's API,
but I'm thinking a better long term approach might be to implement
Qt's accessibility classes. MythTV is a Qt application, but it does
not use Qt widgets.
I would also like to know if there are interested users whose first
language is not English. MythTV has been translated into many
languages, and mythspeech should be able to speak in those languages,
if they are supported by speech-dispatcher. But there are some things
that could be improved if there is interest.
Of course, I welcome any and all feedback, bug reports, etc.
Regards,
Helen
