Support WebSpeech in WebKit-EFL

Hi, I guess one the advantageous of using eSpeak might be, that it supports Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML). Other thing is that eSpeak it pretty small which is also good. Festival seems to be very advanced one, but there is a Flite (festival-lite) speech engine that derived from Festival, which is very compact. -- Krzysztof Czech > Hi, > > As fas as I can tell, eSpeak is one of the speech synthesizers used in GNOME > [1] by the Orca screen reader [2], so I understand it could be a good > solution for this too.

Hi All, I am planning to add support for WebSpeech in WebKit-EFL, basically text-to-speech part. I'm considering of using ESpeak library as a speech engine. I would like to hear an opinion about this solution. Does anybody know about other open source speech engines that are worth considering ?. Krzysztof Czech.
