Hello,
It would be great to have in the future a Orca-like for embedded
environment such as mobile.
Today, in principle using a Speakup enabled kernel + Speechd-Up +
SpeechDispatcher + eSpeak or in user space, Yasr + emacspeak server +
eSpeak, a text based dialog might be correctly spoken.
In the Oralux menu, pppconfig for example is spoken through Yasr. For
better rendering, dialog had been rewritten.
Best regards,
Gilles
