Description Juan Ramon Jimenez 2006-08-08 07:40:26 UTC 
Actually, there isn't a driver for Loquendo TTS in gnome-speech. 

Loquendo text to speech (www.loquendo.com) has a very wide array of languages, including U.S. and U.K. English, Mexican, Castilian Spanish and Catalan, Italian, German, French, Greek, Swedish, Mandarin Chinese, Brazilian, Argentine, Chilean, Portuguese and Dutch - in both male and female voices.

source code for Loquendo driver

The file contains the source code for Loquendo TTS driver (in directory drivers/loquendo). 

It also includes the necessary changes to configure.in and gnome-speech.spec.in in the main directory; Makefile.am in drivers directory; and Gnome_Speech_SynthesisDriver_Loquendo.server.in and a Makefile.am in loquendo directory. 

Is a first version of the driver, so i am sure that somethings can be improved.

Thank you Juan Ramon!  We will take a look at this as soon as the GNOME 2.16 dust settles in a week or so.

 Solved a problem with the old driver when filling the gender field.

 Note that in order to use this patch, you must to have a copy of your default.session file (this is a file in the SDK of Loquendo) in /etc

Thank you!  The patch has been committed and I did a little extra work (get callbacks working and use 'rate' instead of 'speed' for the rate parameter).  Works well with Orca.  Thanks again!  This is now in gnome-speech-0.4.6.
