Title: Screen Reader Software
Post by: raybert on March 08, 2005, 01:40:29 am

Title says it all.  An online friend in the Rockbox forum asked me if such exists for the Z.  He likes one called Speakup (http://www.linux-speakup.org), but it seems to require a hardware-based speech synthesizer.  I did find a software-based speech synthesizer for the Z but I'm not sure if Speakup would support it.  The other obvious problem is Qtopia (versus X), but there's always pdaXrom, I suppose.  Any thoughts?

Thanks,

There is a binary of flite floating around.  Although it's not a screen reader, scripts can be written to use it to read...stuff.  No external synth needed.
