According to Fernando Botelho: # Someone with experience adapting voices for use with Orca/speech # dispatcher is: # Bohdan R. Rau # [email protected] # # He was working on adapting SAPI voices for use in Linux through Wine. # Maybe his experience would help with this.
Android voices should be even easier than SAPI voices to make work with speech-dispatcher, since x86 builds of Android are now available, and the voices need to be built for it, making them one step closer to x86-based desktop Linux. The main issue is going to be convincing the developers of such voices that many of us would be interested in purchasing them for a desktop Linux operating system, which would go a long way toward resolving any remaining incompatibilities and also would avoid licensing problems that could arise from running a voice on something other than the intended platform. Only the speech-dispatcher module would need to be figured out at that point. Of course the voices would need to be built for x86_64 as well, but in most cases this shouldn't cause significant problems. ~Kyle http://kyle.tk/ -- "Kyle? ... She calls her cake, Kyle?"
