_ A GPLed French language synth is available at
|
|
http://www.cam.org/~nico/cicero
|
|
|
|
_ Possible bug. "<" characters not being properly stored in the .xml file?
|
|
|
|
_ DBUS Interface
|
|
_ Refactor so that each job is an object and emits signals from
|
|
object path /org/kde/KSpeechJob_NN. Apps can receive these signals
|
|
using
|
|
|
|
QDBus::sessionBus().connect("org.kde.kttsd", QString(),
|
|
"org.kde.KSpeechJob", "signalname", this, SLOT(slotName()));
|
|
|
|
Thiago tells me that the QString() for object path name will
|
|
filter on all objects with interface org.kde.KSpeechJob.
|
|
This is because QtDBus receives all signals.
|
|
|
|
<thiago> right now, I gave it only two rules: "all signals"
|
|
and "everything whose destination is me"
|
|
|
|
and then filters on what the connect specifies.
|
|
Once in place, the only signals emitted by KSpeech will be
|
|
kttsdStarted and kttsdExiting. Everything else will come
|
|
from the jobs. In theory, this means that apps that aren't
|
|
interesting in tracking jobs don't need to receive those events,
|
|
but OTOH, if an app is receiving any events, then it
|
|
chances are it is interested in most/all of the events.
|
|
The only real advantage to this change is that apps that are
|
|
interesting in tracking only a single job can receive those
|
|
signals and don't have to check the appId (assuming they
|
|
created the job in the first place). Is this advantage
|
|
worth the pain of refactoring kttsd? Thoughts:
|
|
_ I want to make everything (text, messages, warnings, and SR)
|
|
jobs so that KttsJobMgr can track all speech.
|
|
_ There's already an mlTextJob structure, so converting that
|
|
to an object won't be that hard.
|
|
|
|
_ Add setFriendlyName(QString &name) to interface and
|
|
QString getFriendlyName(QString &appId) so that friendly names
|
|
can be displayed in KttsJobMgr.
|
|
|
|
<thiago> hint: connect to the nameOwnerChange signal from
|
|
QDBus::sessionBus().busService() to find out when the application
|
|
:1.120 goes away, so that you can release the resource

|
|
_ Filters:
|
|
_ XHTMLtoSSML stylesheet needs work to provide better mappings for most web pages.
|
|
_ Add KNewStuff capability for folks to upload/download filter configs.
|
|
_ There should be a default set of filters configured when user first runs KTTSMgr.
|
|
If user presses Default button, it should ask user whether to replace all existing
|
|
filters with the standard set. The standard set should probably include
|
|
the Qt to Plain Text and Fix Festival Unspeakable Characters filters, but I'm not
|
|
sure about the latter when desktop is not ISO 8859-1.
|
|
|
|
_ Handbook:
|
|
_ Mention that "Root element is" and "DOCTYPE" are case sensitive. "html" is not
|
|
the same as "HTML". It should stay this way, BTW. Proper xhtml requires lowercase
|
|
tags.
|
|
_ KTTSMgr:
|
|
_ Speech is paused when showing tooltip when mouse cursor is placed over tray icon.
|
|
_ Add ability to quickly pick default Talker in systray menu.
|
|
_ Add drag N drop for the Talkers so it is easier to change the ordering.
|
|
_ It is possible to configure multiple instances of Talkers with the exact same configuration.
|
|
_ In kcmkttsmgr, use setHelp() to set help anchor based on current tab.
|
|
_ Add playback controls to kttsmgr. Volume, pause. Maybe rewind?
|
|
_ KTTSD:
|
|
_ I am told that when kttsd crashes, it can take knotify down with it. See about
|
|
"disconnecting" knotify from kttsd (using post to Qt event queue).
|
|
_ While kttsd currently configures a Talker automatically, would be nice if it could
|
|
autoconfigure talkers for each requested language, if one has not already been configured.
|
|
_ Add support for speech markers.
|
|
_ Implement error signal handling in KTTSD.
|
|
_ Add support for JSML and other Speech Markup languages.
|
|
_ Add method for apps to play a sound file, including in the middle of a job.
|
|
Could be done with SSML or with special Talker Code = "sound".
|
|
_ Other/General:
|
|
_ Save buttons should confirm if user chooses an existing file. KFileDialog doesn't seem to
|
|
offer this option, but shouldn't it?
|
|
_ .desktop files must have a Type keyword, but what to use for kcmkttsd_testmessage.desktop?
|
|
_ Convert to KConfig XT.
|
|
_ Add a plugin for TuxTalk, http://tuxtalk.sourceforge.net/. Since it only supports
|
|
English (at the moment) and is alpha, don't think it is worth it now.
|
|
_ IBM ViaVoice speech-dispatcher plugin?
|
|
_ Add KTTS plugin to aKregator.
