Re: [orca-list] Support automatic language selectoin

[Kirillov Oleg <olekirspb gmail com>]

Hi Alex,


I meant that via SSML speech-dispatcher can set not only rate or volume 
or pitch, but also language. I wanted to know wheather orca may 
determine in which language some text is written and supply text for 
interpritation with appropriate SSML tags, or not.


As I mentioned above, speech-dispatcher (and espeak, too) support the 
feature. For example, you can type in your terminal:


kirillov:~ $    spd-say  -x '<s xml:lang="es"> 2 3 </s>'


And you'll hear the numbers in Spanish.


In any case, I have already got the answer. :)


With best regards,

Oleg.
