Re: [orca-list] beginning work on an NVDA like controller

Hello,
Well to tell you my story on this I don't request this.
I can remember some guys wishing something like this to happen hoping 
for improved responsiveness after removing one layer from the chain 
started at screen reading going through speech dispatcher to the actual 
speech synthesis.
Also I do have some python2 code here from times when I was trying to 
use libespeak from python directly when trying to contribute to XBMC 
TTS. I don't know what I am doing wrong but espeak often segfaults for 
me when calling it from XBMC built-in python interpreter so I haven't 
moved this experiment further trying to implement espeak speech server 
factory in orca. Perhaps in the future I'll get a bit of motivation 
because it may still be interesting maybe just as a little experiment.

Today I was just thinking loudly that something like what Kendel is 
looking for is not really necessary. While interfacing to 
speech-dispatcher you can already influence interuption, when doing say 
all in orca your app can kick in and speech dispatcher will speak the 
text sent to it by your app at the end of the clause and you can decide 
whether you would like the same or different parameters.

Hopefully I am not putting that strong arguments here. I understand we 
are in an open-source world so everyone can try experimenting with the 
features and it is good idea even to increase our experience so still if 
you like it then please go for it.


Greetings

Peter
