A question for brltty developers

A question for brltty developers

[Jois]

Hi,
as serial and parallel ports are disappearing from the latest hardware 
devices, I'd like to know if developers are going to build the USB support 
for Braille displays.
And regarding synthesizers, I did not hear anything about a multi-lingual 
(Italian included) software synthesizer supporting GNU/Linux systems.
thanks in advance
	Jois

Developers are going to give you the moon even for free if only they can be
provided with specific USB protocol documentation for given braille
displays, and possibly hardware to test new code with.  Missing that we just 
can't do miracles.

They do exist.  You have to pay $$$ for them.

Actually, the Mbrola voices will link to Festival and they have Italian
voices.
