Hi Tomeu,<br><br>Thanks, that totally worked. Wish I had asked this question 5 hours ago :).<br><br>There is one more query that I have. We are planning to create a plugin which would help bridge the Read activity with eSpeak (a text to speech engine).
<br><br>Espeak can be invoked using the following command : <br><pre>espeak --stdout "Hello listening world!" | gst-launch fdsrc fd=0 ! wavparse ! alsasink<br><br><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"></span>
<br></pre>We want to pick the string data from Read and send it to espeak. Which is the best point from where we can pick this string data for speech synthesis?<br><br>Can we pick the string data from Read-activity directly or will we need to look further into evince-olpc?
<br><br>Thanks and Regards,<br>Hemant<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 10/14/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Tomeu Vizoso</b> <<a href="mailto:tomeu@tomeuvizoso.net">tomeu@tomeuvizoso.net</a>> wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

<br><br>Read does not have any icon in the frame, as it is currently a<br>viewer-only activity, cannot create content.<br><br>You can launch Read by opening a pdf file in the journal. You have two<br>ways of adding a pdf to the journal, one is by downloading a pdf file
<br>with Browse, and the other is by inserting a usb stick with a pdf on it,<br>you can then copy the pdf to the main flash by drag'n'drop if you wish.<br><br>Regards,<br><br>Tomeu</blockquote></div>
