with a mazy motion

making 'maze' into a screensaver or something that can run at startup would be neat... I've been thinking of ways to have preloader activities/games for activities with long load times. not sure how to implement for a few months yet, though. --Sj leave me a message 02:49, 13 January 2008 (EST)

Re Talk:Speak#Accessibility

I outlined a few more things there that you might be able to achieve far better than I. Another thing that I think we might find a way to optionally turn off is the initial greeting, especially for use in this circumstance. --Neskaya 21:28, 14 February 2008 (EST)

Thanks my code was backwards...

Forwards, backwards, oops. Thanks CharlesMerriam 03:05, 7 March 2008 (EST)

Adding languages to Speak activity

Josh, do you know how to add more languages (e.g.Turkish) into Speak? Thanks a lot.--Carla 09:22, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Speak broken in joyride due to numpy move -FIXED

Hi jminor,

In case you get to fix this before I do, in the latest joyride (I'm running -2271) Speak is broken because numpy's been removed in favor of numeric:

/home/olpc/Activities/Speak.activity/activity.py in <module>()
     54 import glasses
     55 import mouth
---> 56 import fft_mouth
        global fft_mouth = undefined
     57 import waveform_mouth
     58 import voice

/home/olpc/Activities/Speak.activity/fft_mouth.py in <module>()
     25 from mouth import *
     26 
---> 27 from Numeric import ceil
        global Numeric = undefined
        global ceil = undefined
     28 from FFT import *
     29 

ImportError: No module named Numeric

All fixed now (Trac #7852) .

Want to add Nepali language in Espeak.Help me out!!

Hi, I'm working for OLE Nepal.Currently I'm working on speak and I want to add Nepali language on speak.Please help me.

We have already added the Nepali Language in espeak which, as far as I know, speak is based on. How long do you think it will be before these changes are incorporated in the Speak activity. 120.89.117.55 08:49, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

If you've added it to espeak, then it should appear automatically in Speak. Do you see the new language listed when you type "espeak --voices" into the Terminal? jminor

        The Nepali language is currently present in the latest version of espeak v1.39.15. It had been part of espeak for   about a week. I currently have the latest Speak (v.9) in the XO but cannot see the Nepali language there. How do I sort of 'merge' these changes in espeak with speak?. My objective is to make the Speak activity speak in Nepali. Thank you. Pradosh
