Issues about the Consorcio e-accessibility projects

Hi,

Sanne is absolutely right that the other thread is for discussion about the preconference, so I'm answering the questions related to our project in this new thread.

|  How different is it from the "dots" application?

Dunno, because sincerely we didn't know of this application. I'll tell Onirica to have a look on it, so that they can re-use as much code as possible. This includes to take over the development of this application.

> easy addition of new tables

|  New liblouis tables?

Yes, for example for basque or galician, in case there are not any for them.

We want it to be integrated.

Of course your input is greatly appreciated and I hope Onirica will join this conversation so that you can suggest them new ways to improve this application, be it completely anew or further development of dots.

Yes, WARP is planning to use pressage to do the text prediction.
