Hello, My name is Glenn, and I am new here, and I joined to find out if this project can be made accessible for the Blind. I find your project intriguing. I have already used Linux with an add-in called: SpeakUp - http://www.linux-speakup.org/ with an external hardware speech synthesizer, but some people use it with a software synth, which utilizes the audio capabilities of the computer to synthesize speech. Festival is one of the software synthesizers, and there are others too. I don't know how to compile a distro with SpeakUp, but perhaps it would be a piece of cake for some of you. Do any of you folks think this might work? Thanks |

Hello Glenn, I don't see any reason why this shouldn't work. Debian's distribution for the Power PC runs exceedingly well on the Game Cube. Perhaps you could find a distribution of Debian that already includes the support for SpeakUp.
