I am currently using ttsynth with the speakup connector utility, and so far, I am quite impressed. The synth is incredibly responsive, even on a dual celeron 466Mhz box. One thing I have noticed however, is that speech does not shut up very quickly when one presses a key, or the control key. Speech also overlaps when quickly skimming over text, either by line, word, or character. I'd say this has something to do with ALSA being used, but is probably not too hard to work around in the code. The utility also randomly crashes sometimes, and I hope to see if I can debug that. Janina, what is the speakup connector source code license? I can make Ubuntu/Debian packages if people are interested. - -- Luke Yelavich GPG key: 0xD06320CE (http://www.themuso.com/themuso-gpg-key.txt) Email & MSN: themuso@themuso.com Jabber: themuso@jabber.org.au -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGap4VjVefwtBjIM4RAnYWAKDFNu5knHIh2SCqLaUAccdhrox6hQCg57Se ttRBKDXvpRwEo634yojd32Q= =HlC9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
