Patch to add openttsfactory.py and other files to support Open TTS server (18.11 KB, patch)
2010-05-18 04:02 UTC, Steve Holmes 		committed Details | Review

Description Steve Holmes 2010-05-17 20:47:17 UTC 
Since Speech Dispatcher has been forked and a new possible replacement for it has been developed, Orca should be able to support this new speech server.  The new server is cloned from Speech Dispatcher and is called Open TTS.  Open TTS has enjoyed greater development and code fixes lately than the older Speech Dispatcher.  The proposal with this enhancement is to add in support for Open TTS and leave Speech Dispatcher unchanged.
Comment 1 Steve Holmes 2010-05-17 20:53:26 UTC 
I will take this one.  I have already coded the new openttsfactory.py and made related changes to Makefile.am and settings.py in my local tree.  I just need to unit test what I have before uploading a patch.

Patch to add openttsfactory.py and other files to support Open TTS server

As of May 17th, the new Open TTS package is still in a git development repository but this version of opentts will work with Orca after this patch is applied.  Testing included starting orca from the text console (orca -t), starting with no init files present as in starting gnome for the first time, and going into the Orca preferences dialogue under the Speech page.  Future changes to this enhancement would include a consolidation of the two files, speechdispatcherfactory.py and openttsfactory.py.

Any chance this patch can be comitted soon?  I saw a message recently from Paul Hunt indicating he was successful at running both speech systems without any problems.

Since I haven't tested it.... 

Jon, what do you think? If you're OK with it, I say sure.

Sorry for not looking at this sooner.
Yes, looks fine to me.
diff -u dispatcherfactory.py opentts.py
made it a lot easier for me to see where the diffrences were. :)

Steve, I've commited this to master.
Thanks for the work.

Please open a new bug for the merging of the two files.

From sd and opentts mailing lists, it looks like the dispute has been resolved and they are merging again.
