Hi all,
Just a suggestion...
Why not use a text to speach engine to do this unless we
choose not to use the text to speach (TTS) mode.
That way we would only have to do voice files for unique
and or dificult names. During our past experiance with I-mark system the major
complaint was that the voice quality was poor, it had very few controls for
voice type, speed, gender, and languge support. But it did do
the basic english TTS part well. It had difficulty with name pronaunciation
mostly in spanish, but I feel that that was largly do to the specific TTS engine
we were using at the time. TTS has come a long way since then and has been
endorsed by a great number of visually impared organization around the
world.
Again, just food for thought...
