Hi,
These are a few issues I want to tackle with respect to speech-synthesis on
the XO:
1. Provide a Play button on the top right corner of the sugar shell.
(How can i integrate the button there?)
2. When the user clicks it becomes a resume button. (Where do i write
code for handling these clicks? Any specific files of sugar?)
3. When the button is clicked the text on the clipboard is sent
through the speech-dispatcher for speech synthesis. (I 'll simply use the
gtk clipboard api for this)
4. If the user hovers on the button for long, a palette appears
exposing the speech synthesis parameters. It has sliders for changing
rate,pitch and volume and a drop down box for choosing the voice.
5. These configuration settings must be stored in some place on the XO
so that they can be retrieved when the XO reboots, or the palette is shown
again.
6. How can I automate the process of connecting to the
speech-dispatcher when the XO boots, and load all the configuration
settings?
7. When the palette disappears the new settings are stored in some
location so that they can be retrieved when the xo reboots or the palette
pops up again.
I have opened a ticket for inclusion of speech-dispatcher on the XO and hope
the request will be accepted soon: http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/6284
I am afraid I dont have much experience with programming to solve the above
problems. Any ideas would be great pointers!
Thanks!
