Hi all, Here are the minutes of the recent Sugar meeting with respect to Text To Speech. Some decisions that have been taken are as follows: <ol><li>speech-dispatcher has been accepted to be shipped with the XO as the speech synthesis server.</li> <li>speech-dispatcher language bindings and API was discussed and it was found to be useful.</li><li>hemantg and assimd must now complete the RPM packaging of speech-dispatcher and dotconf packages respectively.</li><li>eben and erikos will together take a decision on how to expose speech synthesis capabilities on the XO. A speech device will be present in the activity tray which can have a palette exposing a subset of speech synthesis settings. The control panel will contain an option to modify all the speech synthesis parameters with an audio preview button. </li><li>hemantg will in parallel work on the command line interface for modifying/storing/retrieving all the default/sugar speech synthesis settings.</li><li>timthelion discussed about the need for having well defined UI for the highlight and speak feature, and accessibility.</li> </ol> Please add anything that I've missed or correct anything not written clearly.
