Subject: Speakup and Linux Smart Watches
Date: Wed, 10 Feb 2021 08:38:10 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1l9qd9-0000Ii-1A@wb5agz> (raw)
I've been looking for an inexpensive talking watch that doesn't
fall apart in 3 months and noticed that various entities are
trying to make linux-based smart watches. This might be a
perfect platform on which to run a speakup instance.
One concept idea I read about used an ARM-based processor
like the raspberry Pi and even was supposed to support WiFi.
If one needed 8 talking timers with each one playing a
different tune when it timed out, you might have to write the app
yourself, but the only limitation would be your imagination and
available RAM. If next week, you only needed one talking timer
but this timer should announce it's time at 2 minutes, 2 minutes
37 seconds and finally 3 minutes and 27 seconds, you zap the 8 talking timers
and upload your new special talking timer executable.
The WiFi would let your watch keep itself set via ntpd.
After all, it's a watch and the linux is the power tool that lets
you leap tall buildings at a single bound.
Has anybody done this already and, if so, what platform
does it run on?
The concept idea I read that used the ARM was written
over a year ago and, as far as I know, is still only a concept.
