BRLTTY and Speech

BRLTTY and Speech

[Yasemin Acur]

Hello!

I'm looking for a german software speech that is compatible with BRLTTY. It 
should be freeware or GNU/GPL.
I heard about mbrola, but that's just for sbl.

thanks

Yasemin

We could write an mbrola speech drivedr for brltty. It isn't a full
text-to-speech engine, though. At least two additional pieces of information
need to be supplied, i.e. the voice database and the text-to-phoneme converter.
Is there a standard way to do this, or should brltty's mbrola speech driver
simply have two required parameters? How do other speech solutions handle
mbrola?

No, not at all:
Mbrola is available as a binary, see the tcts.fpms.ac.be site of the 
Université de Mons (Belgium),
but when adding the next line in your sources.list if you're a Debian 
user, you can download the mbrola bin as a deb package (nonfree):
deb http://brlspeak.net/dev/debian/ stable main non-free

But for German I presume you need an adequate tts, Hadifix if I remember 
the right name.

Hello!

brass - a brltty fork - has a driver for the combination of mbrola and 
hadifix, a text to phoneme converter for german. 
Have a look at: http://butenuth.onlinehome.de/blinux/index-en.html

The driver could be integrated in brltty, too.

Regards

Roger

Brian Tew here.
Yes brltty must be run as root. That is definite.
Or with sudo
