[sugar] Sugar mtg minutes, March 25, 2008 - Text to Speech

[Hemant Goyal]

Hi all,

Here are the minutes of the recent Sugar meeting with respect to Text To
Speech.

Some decisions that have been taken are as follows:

   1. speech-dispatcher has been accepted to be shipped with the XO as
   the speech synthesis server.
   2. speech-dispatcher language bindings and API was discussed and it
   was found to be useful.
   3. hemantg and assimd must now complete the RPM packaging of
   speech-dispatcher and dotconf packages respectively.
   4. eben and erikos will together take a decision on how to expose
   speech synthesis capabilities on the XO. A speech device will be present in
   the activity tray which can have a palette exposing a subset of speech
   synthesis settings. The control panel will contain an option to modify all
   the speech synthesis parameters with an audio preview button.
   5. hemantg will in parallel work on the command line interface for
   modifying/storing/retrieving all the default/sugar speech synthesis
   settings.
   6. timthelion discussed about the need for having well defined UI for
   the highlight and speak feature, and accessibility.


Please add anything that I've missed or correct anything not written
clearly.
