Re: [orca-list] Raspberry Pi breakthrough




Hi Mike,
This is great
I think I will also want to try this out and if Orca works then there is a lot which can be done.
Happy hacking.

Sweet, please do post the Git repository here. I just bought a Pi last
weekend, and while I'm not planning to run Orca on it, I was intending
to run Espeak for a few self-voicing tasks.

Thanks!

Hello list,

Forgive me for crowing about this on here but I've made a breakthrough
today of which I am very proud.

For months I have been working on code to solve the stuttering espeak
tts on the Raspberry Pi in the console.

This is caused by the Broadcom sound driver not working well with espeak
tts and the kernel regularly crashes.

I have written a library in C which renders the audio on the GPU, and
which works solidly and responsively with a small footprint.

I am about to release details of the git repo I have the code in, along
with instructions on how to get it working with Raspbian and Arch.  And
then some pre-configured SD card images for download on our Raspberry VI
web site.

I am now working on an Emacspeak server to use the same audio code and
then will write a speech-dispatcher module to make it possible to use
Orca with the GPU and this should make it possible to run a minimal GUI
on the little beast.

Mike
