Jouke Visser, author of Speech::Synthesis

[Peter Billam]

Greetings. Jouke Visser's CPAN module
http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Speech::Synthesis
provides a generic interface for different TTS Engines.
That would be good, but it was last updated in 2005 and only supports:
MSAgent, SAPI4 and SAPI5 (Win32), MacSpeech and Festival
so it doesn't yet know about espeak ... The visually-impaired
community has too many of these half-abandoned projects :-(
It should be fairly easy to use the Speech::eSpeak module:
http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Speech::eSpeak
to give it espeak, though...

I haven't been able to contact Jouke Visser (are you here, Jouke?)
and if he's actually disappeared, then is there a
procedure for someone to adopt this module in CPAN ?

Regards, Peter

I'm here! It's been quite a while since I've been involved in anything for
the Perl community, but I'm back again :) You can contact me privately and
I'll see what I can do.

Cheers,

Jouke
