Re: [orca-list] Support automatic language selectoin



Joanie:

To cross domains a bit, let me note that I expect multi-lingual support
to be taken up by the new Pronunciation Task Force in W3C/WAI. I promise
to keep us informed of those developments.

Use cases will include correctly declared HTML lang, something we can
expect in textbooks and on tests like the LSAT going forward.


What I'd like to see discussed is whether we need metadata language
declaration, e.g. this document's language is English, but it also
includes in line <lang> </lang> use of Latin. The reason might be to
preload language library into memory. Is that useful? Surely we don't
want pronunciations driven just by the phonemes loaded for the default
language? So, what's the effective architecture on the AT side of
things. An answer to this question will certainly inform the
Pronunciation TF's normative specification.

Best,

Janina

Hello,


Orca can already query a language in some contexts e.g. when reading
document content in browse mode in Firefox or in thunderbird. I guess it
might be possible in libreoffice too.


It would be awesome if there was an option that orca would set
speech-dispatcher language based off of the language retrieved from the
document.

Of course for majority of orca's speech default settings would be
preferred. However for web sites and rich formatted documents this might
work well.


NVDA does it like this on Windows.


Greetings


Peter

Hi all,

Hi Kirillov,

I have unother question. Does Orca support automatic language
selection e.g. via SSML? And if it so, how to turn it on, and how to
set the prefered languages?

As I know, it doesn't. The Orca language is determine by the language
of your system and the voice language is configurable from the orca
preferences.

To be honest, I'm not sure to have understood your question, why are
you talking about SSML? The voice language and selection is not chosen
by SSML, it's Orca that calls the Speech Dispatcher API to tell it
"the voice is X, the rate is Y, etc".

Best regards,
Alex.
