Hi,<br><br>We have been analyzing the speech-dispatcher as a viable option for the XO. Our initial analysis has thrown up great results and it seems to support the present requirements from a speech synthesis server. With the inclusion of speech-dispatcher on the XO we will be able to have a truly client-server based model for speech synthesis. It uses sockets for communication (is that okay ?)<br>
<br>Speech-dispatcher has provided a Python Client API [<a href="http://cvs.freebsoft.org/repository/speechd/src/python/speechd/client.py?view=markup">http://cvs.freebsoft.org/repository/speechd/src/python/speechd/client.py?view=markup</a>].<br>
<br>Questions:<br><ol><li>We are wondering whether this API would be directly usable/suitable for use on the XO or it should be modified to make it simpler to use? <br></li><li>How can we request for inclusion of the speech-dispatcher daemon services and libraries on the XO?</li>
</ol>Thanks!<br><br>-- <br>Hemant Goyal<br>
