This file contains a list of improvements that need to be made to
|
||||
espeakup.
|
||||
|
||||
Voice and language support should be added at some point.
|
||||
This will consist of the following:
|
||||
- add a function which will allow switching voices. (completed on 9/27)
|
||||
- add a function/command which will allow speakup to find out which
|
||||
voices espeak supports.
|
||||
- define and add the command to speakup which will allow it to switch
|
||||
voices.

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||||
Espeakup bridges the gap between two tools: the Speakup screen review
|
||||
system and the ESppeak text-to-speech engine. Each of these tools
|
||||
performs a well-defined task. Speakup is a kernel-based screen reader
|
||||
for the Linux console. It extracts and processes the text that is
|
||||
displayed on the foreground virtual console. It supports several
|
||||
hardware based speech synthesizers directly. However, since it is in
|
||||
kernel space, it cannot support a software speech synthesizer directly
|
||||
since these are in user space.
|
||||
ESpeak is a popular software speech synthesizer. It is small, light
|
||||
weight, very responsive, and supports multiple languages.
|
||||
Espeakup is a connector which will read text sent to it by speakup and
|
||||
forward it to ESpeak. This allows Speakup to use ESpeak as its speech
|
||||
synthesizer.
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
Espeakup is a daemon. Typically, it is started at boot time, and it terminates
|
||||
when the system is halted or rebooted. It should be started by the
|
||||
system's init scripts. This process varies among Linux distributions,
|
||||
but the details are usually managed by the person who packaged Espeakup for
|
||||
your distribution.
|
||||
From the perspective of an average user, Espeakup's operation is invisible.
|
||||
.SH BUGS
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
Espeakup is still classified as alpha software. Bugs are periodically found
|
||||
and fixed. If you find a bug, please do report it to the author. You
|
||||
might also consider mentioning it on the mailing list for the Speakup
|
||||
screenreader. Visit http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
|
||||
to learn more about the mailing list.
