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 :).
