Re: [orca-list] Speech Dispatcher and OpenTTS

[Jon <j orcauser googlemail com>]

Hi Steve,

Thanks for doing this!

Instead of repeating code, can you see a way of factoring out the common 
code, and then have sd and opentts as small sub classes that contain the 
diffrences between themselves?

Yes I do believe that if Orca cant make a connection to the speech engine, 
then it will not be included in the list of available speech servers.
I would have to dig into code to be 100% sure though.

Best,

-Jon
