Re: [orca-list] The Jupiter console screen reader



Hi, Peter!

It's not urgent. I just wish that everyone could establish any team, as a speech synthesizer. Ie if someone wants to use any synthesizer, which is connected to the "speech-dispatcher", he could point to as a command "spd-say", and the options you want him. Ie I am talking about the possibility in principle to use any command as a synthesizer. You could experiment with any speech synthesizer, even with "espeak". I use "newfon", which is ported from the "MS-DOS" for "linux". This is not a commercial speech synthesizer. The source code of the speech synthesizer is not covered by the developer. On it there are reasons that are not related to business. If you are interested in the synthesizer, then I'll tell you about it in greater detail; And also I tell you how to install it. But this synthesizer is designed only for the Russian language. This speech synthesizer does not support the Ukrainian language; However, one of the developers wrote me a script to "perl", which takes the Ukrainian letters and replaces their pronunciation in Russian letters. Thus, I can quite comfortably work with the Ukrainian interface programs, and Ukrainian texts. This speech synthesizer has its own peculiarities. So if there was a setting in which it would be possible to specify the command as a synthesizer, it would be ideal.

I apologize for my terrible English :).

Hello,


As far as I can understand jupiter can only work with espeakup at present.


However adding support for other command line based synths might be
doable if there is a way to keep them running all the time and feed the
text to them via standard unix pipe.


I am running out of time these days but if you need help sooner or later
I'm happy to try working on this with you.


Are you using newfon or what synth for russian and ukrainian?


Is there a way so I can test that synth here or is it a commercial one?


Greetings


Peter

Hi, All.

Is it possible to adjust the "Jupiter" to work with any other
synthesizer except "espeak"?
I have a speech synthesizer that supports command line. I connect it
to the "speech-dispatcher" through "sd_generic" module. I would like
to use this synthesizer and the rest of the console screen reader;
However, my impression is that I can use it only with "yasr".
If anyone has time, please clarify the situation.
I ask this also because, for some users, "espeak" is a very bad
choice. For example, Ukrainian-users prefer to just do not work with
this speech synthesizer because he has a very horrible accent, and the
pronunciation is very eerie.
