Re: [orca-list] Support automatic language selectoin

[Kirillov Oleg <olekirspb gmail com>]

Hi,


I think that detection of languages for some types of documents only is 
not enough. Is it possible to detect the languages using some python 
libraries, add SSML tags to text for speaking, and then pass it to the 
synthesizer? It would be very useful for learning foreign language :)


Thanks,

Oleg.
