[Sugar-devel] Speech synthesizer in sugar web (Yader Vel?squez)

[Lionel Laské]

Seen lately this conversation. Just to add my 2 cents: TurtleJS [1] use the
meSpeak.js [2] library to implement "Speak" block (see in Media palette).

The interesting thing regarding this library is that it dynamically
generate WAV audio so it don't need an Internet connection instead of other
speech to text library.

Don't know if it works on the XO.

Hope it could help.

         Lionel.
