Hi ! I think is worth cross posting this message from the xdg mailing list about an effort for building a standard speech services to the speechd mailing list. I think that this message could be of much interest for people of this list.
You can read the whole thread here: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2011-November/thread.html Sincerely, -- Juanjo Marin ----- Mensaje reenviado ----- > De: Michael Pozhidaev <[email protected]> > Para: [email protected] > CC: > Enviado: martes 8 de noviembre de 2011 0:11 > Asunto: Common interfaces for speech services > > Hello, everybody! > > I have the question about developing common interfaces for various > services.
