We could do this, but then when people use an installer other than Preware to install Navit, and that other installer doesn't honour dependencies, then it's much harder to ask the user to tell us whether speechd is installed or not.

Just move the icon to the end of your least-used launcher page.

There is some problem when updating to the current speech dispatcher version (v0.7.1-4). I don't know yet why, but there are some files missing after the update. Removing and then reinstalling Speech Dispatcher restores all files, the system should be working then.

Working now removed dispatcher and Navit as Preware gave no option to remove one without the other. Installed dispatcher first then Navit. launcher report v0.7.1-4 and preware reports the same.

Ok, the problem with upgrading _should_ be fixed with v0.7.1-5.

PreRunr · 08/29/2010, 06:42 PM

Upgrade to v0.7.1-5 worked fine, well done!

Hi guys,

first I want to thank you for your great job, speech support is realy cool.
Unfortunately, I have a small issue with it - it doesn't support Slovak language. I am creating an unofficial slovak localization for WebOS, which works quite well for me. The issue is that Navit doesn't speak (only when I switch the locale back to english). The webos version of Navit already contains support for slovak but I had to hack the locale support infrastructure and speech dispatcher packages to make it work (I use locale package v7.3.0 and speech dispatcher v0.7.1.5).
The hacks were not complicated - for speech-dispatcher, I only needed to add a line saying 'AddVoice "sk" "MALE1" "sk"' to the /var/etc/speech-dispatcher/modules/espeak-generic.conf. For locale infrastructure, the hack was very 'dirty' - I simply copied the whole cs_CZ.utf8 directory into sk_SK.utf8, since czech locale settings are very similar to slovak (yes, this should be done in the proper way). With these hacks Navit displays slovak GUI and also speaks slovak.
I would like to ask you to add "official" support for slovak into those packages, so that others can use it too without need for hacking. If you needed any help, I will try to give you as much support as I can.
So what do you think, would this be possible?

noradtux · 09/16/2010, 12:11 PM

Ok, look out for the testing feed, I added your modifications, please test if it's good like that.

xon.xoff · 09/17/2010, 02:09 PM

Hi, I installed testing versions of both packages (locale 7.3.0-2 and speech-dispatcher 0.7.1-6) and speech output with sk locale in Navit worked without need for further hacking

.
many thanks!

I created a small shell script that uses espeak to say the content of the clipboard.

Code:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/media/cryptofs/apps/usr/palm/applications/org.webosinternals.speechd/lib
/media/cryptofs/apps/usr/palm/applications/org.webosinternals.speechd/bin/espeak --path=/media/cryptofs/apps/usr/palm/applications/org.webosinternals.speechd/share -f /tmp/webkit-clipboard -w out.wav --stdout | paplay -d pdefaultapp

Shouldn't the library and share paths be hard coded at compile time?

Hi, Im back with my request for patch to announce the name of an incomming caller. Did something changed with 2.1 updates?

pchrist · 11/01/2011, 03:27 PM

is there any progress for text to speech???

HaPe · 11/01/2011, 04:45 PM

Not until now. The webOS service is still missing. So it is only used by Navit.

Hi guys,

I thought for such a good service and bit of coding, Speech Dispatcher deserves a revamped icon, so I've created a new icon - see below. It's based on the information icon created by palm (which I'm not entirely sure is allowed, but it was done with the best of intentions...)

It's my first attempt, so let me know if you think it's appropriate. I've replaced the icon on my pre3 at the moment - it looks good, but at smaller sizes perhaps needs to be simpler.

Cheers.

Ps. I still need to fix the reflection.

I'm embarrased to discover, three months late this article in Palm Developer Blog, by Josh Marinacci: Weekly App Hack - Text to speech.

Wouldn't it mean that any application could be able to speak?

There are many interesting applications, my favourite would Music Player Remix talking out the names of the songs it plays.
