Hi,
I am new to Python so excuse the code but this patch allows
the user to specify a program to run with the speak plugin
rather than using Festival. I personally use Cepstral but
there are other engines available as well, most which can
be fed via the commandline.
One thing I haven't been able to figure out with this
plugin, in the menu handler, it's picking up event
movement, IE with up and down but when the user hits
rightarrow to enter a menu, it doesn't read the subsequent
selection. The user needs to move down and back up again.
Not sure how to fix this.
Shane
