ESPEAK

Hi list
I do not necessarily agree with the idea to do away with ESpeak. I believe that is a case of "horses for causes."
In South Africa, more specifically, at the Institute for the Blind in Worcester where I am a lecturer, we extensively use ESpeak to read Afrikaans. And may I say, the quality of ESpeak's Afrikaans is actually very good.
I won't mind if the developers do away with ESpeak, but before that happens I want definite proof that the replacement program has, at least, the same quality, preferably, better.
Cheers
Christo |

It makes sense to me. The English world often do not comprehend the difficulty we, from non-english countries, experience with speech packages. There was a time, when I used JAWS, and it wasn't long ago, that I had to read Afrikaans documents, even books, with JAWS and the Afrikaans was genuinely terrible. I know some of my friend sometimes make use of Dutch, but that still isn't the answer.

I don't mean to say that the English speaking people are unsympathetic or anything like that, but sometimes one don't think about it in that way. Greetings Christo -----Original Message-----

Hi,
I think choosing a synth instead of another is only a personal matter... So, no one should consider doing away with Espeak because so many people like it! Both Espeak and Eloquence should exist.
