> * What is Speech Dispatcher?
>
> Speech Dispatcher is a device independent layer for speech
> synthesis, developed with the goal of making the usage of speech
> synthesis easier for application programmers. It takes care of most
> of the tasks necessary to solve in speech enabled applications. What
> is a very high level GUI library to graphics, Speech Dispatcher is
> to speech synthesis.
>
> Key Speech Dispatcher features are:
>
> - Message priority model that allows multiple simultaneous
> connections to Speech Dispatcher from one or more clients
> and tries to provide the user with the most important messages.
>
> - Different output modules that talk to different synthesizers so
> that the programmer doesn't need to care which particular
> synthesizer is being used. Currently Festival, Flite, Epos, Espeak
> and (non-free) Dectalk software, IBM TTS, Pico and others are
> supported. Festival is an advanced Free Software synthesizer
> supporting various languages. Espeak is a very fast multi-lingual
> Free Software synthesizer.
>
> - Simple interface for programs written in C, C++ provided through a
> shared library. Python, Common Lisp and Guile interfaces. An Elisp
> and Java libraries are developed as sperate projects speechd-el
> and speechd-java. Possibly an interface to any other language can
> be developed.
