_ Filters:
|
|
_ XHTMLtoSSML stylesheet needs work to provide better mappings for most web pages.
|
|
_ Add KNewStuff capability for folks to upload/download filter configs.
|
|
_ There should be a default set of filters configured when user first runs KTTSMgr.
|
|
If user presses Default button, it should ask user whether to replace all existing
|
|
filters with the standard set. The standard set should probably include
|
|
the Qt to Plain Text and Fix Festival Unspeakable Characters filters, but I'm not
|
|
sure about the latter when desktop is not ISO 8859-1.
|
|
_ The SBD Filter configuration dialog can be shrunk smaller than the widgets on it.
|
|
This apparently due to a bug in the QLabel widget when it contains RichText. If
|
|
forced to plain text, the problem won't happen (I am told). However, the WARNING
|
|
in the dialog needs to be bolded. What to do?
|
|
_ Handbook:
|
|
_ Mention that "Root element is" and "DOCTYPE" are case sensitive. "html" is not
|
|
the same as "HTML". It should stay this way, BTW. Proper xhtml requires lowercase
|
|
tags.
|
|
_ Audio Plugins:
|
|
_ Audio Plugins are loaded for each sentence. Instead, reuse the plugins from a pool
|
|
of loaded plugins.
|
|
_ BUG:116542. Apply patch and resolve compile issue.
|
|
_ At least one user experiences a freeze-up using ALSA plugin. Speak a web page,
|
|
pause the page, cause a knotify to speak, kttsd freezes. This appears to be an
|
|
ALSA device contention problem? In this situation, there are two alsaplayer objects;
|
|
one in pause state, and one attempting to speak notify.
|
|
_ akodelib does not stop instantly when pause() or stop() is called. See bug:107135.
|
|
_ Why must Player constructor take a 3rd "args" argument, while PluginProc constructor
|
|
does not. They are essentially the same. ??
|
|
_ Add option to automatically turn down music player volume while speaking (via dcop).
|
|
_ Festival Interactive plugin:
|
|
_ Need someone who can read czech to try integrating this into KTTS:
|
|
http://www.freebsoft.org/festival-czech
|
|
_ New Italian voice for Festival. http://www.pd.istc.cnr.it/FESTIVAL/home/default.htm
|
|
_ EPOS plugin:
|
|
_ Command plugin:
|
|
_ Command plugin encodes text on command line using %t in user's chosen encoding, but
|
|
if this differs from user's desktop default encoding, doesn't work. KProcess always
|
|
encodes command line stuff using user's default encoding. There is no point, therefore,
|
|
in attempting to encode it differently, just mangles the text even more. Short of modifying
|
|
KProcess, I see no way around this. But perhaps a warning to user advising to use %f instead?
|
|
_ Command plugin crashes when using command 'flite -t "%t"' and flite can't get write access to /dev/dsp*.
|
|
_ Hadifix plugin:
|
|
_ BUG:116151 Add options for using the new prepoc capability in Hadifix.
|
|
_ When stopText() is called, and Hadifix process is killed, the temporary wav file is not deleted,
|
|
despite QFile::remove call. Possibly still locked by exiting mbrola process? This only seems
|
|
to happen in the configuration dialog when canceling Tests.
|
|
_ KTTSMgr:
|
|
_ Give Talkers a Talker Name entered by user. Show this name in Jobs tab, Change Talker screen,
|
|
and in systray menu.
|
|
_ Change the Current Sentence panel to show the current sentence of the selected job? If selected
|
|
job is not the currently speaking job, won't show currently-speaking text anymore. However, would
|
|
be helpful when using advance/rewind buttons. Perhaps to be effective, if the currently-selected
|
|
job IS the currently speaking job, and that job finishes, would automatically select the next
|
|
speaking job? But that could become confusing for users with selection jumping around.
|
|
_ Add ability to quickly pick default Talker in systray menu.
|
|
_ KCMultiDialog has a bug that won't allow sizing the screen narrower than 640.
|
|
_ Overall Audio Speed should be a realtime setting, i.e., not necessary to click Apply.
|
|
_ Disable Audio Speed control if sox not installed (configure.in.in but runtime check would be better).
|
|
_ Add drag N drop for the Talkers so it is easier to change the ordering.
|
|
_ It is possible to configure multiple instances of Talkers with the exact same configuration.
|
|
_ In kcmkttsmgr, use setHelp() to set help anchor based on current tab.
|
|
_ Add playback controls to kttsmgr. Volume, pause. Maybe rewind?
|
|
_ KTTSD:
|
|
_ I am told that when kttsd crashes, it can take knotify down with it. See about
|
|
"disconnecting" knotify from kttsd (using post to Qt event queue).
|
|
_ Strange msg being produced by KIO::move, but it works fine. ??
|
|
kio (KIOJob): stat file:///home/kde-devel/.kde/share/apps/kttsd/audio/kttsd-5-1.wav
|
|
kio (KIOJob): error 11 /home/kde-devel/.kde/share/apps/kttsd/audio/kttsd-5-1.wav
|
|
kio (KIOJob): This seems to be a suitable case for trying to rename before stat+[list+]copy+del
|
|
_ While kttsd currently configures a Talker automatically, would be nice if it could
|
|
autoconfigure talkers for each requested language, if one has not already been configured.
|
|
_ Add support for speech markers.
|
|
_ Implement error signal handling in KTTSD.
|
|
_ Add support for JSML and other Speech Markup languages.
|
|
_ Add method for apps to play a sound file, including in the middle of a job.
|
|
Could be done with SSML or with special Talker Code = "sound".
|
|
_ Other/General:
|
|
_ As pointed out by NOKUBI Takatsugu on Planet Debian, there exists an
|
|
open-source synthesis + recognition engine for Japanese.

|
_ Save buttons should confirm if user chooses an existing file. KFileDialog doesn't seem to
|
|
offer this option, but shouldn't it?
|
|
_ .desktop files must have a Type keyword, but what to use for kcmkttsd_testmessage.desktop?
|
|
_ Add option to kill plugin process when no longer needed so that memory can be recovered.
|
|
Or maybe some sort of "nice" setting so that process will be swapped out when no longer needed.
|
|
_ Convert to KConfig XT.
|
|
_ Add a plugin for TuxTalk, http://tuxtalk.sourceforge.net/. Since it only supports
|
|
English (at the moment) and is alpha, don't think it is worth it now.
|
|
_ Add a plugin for dhvani, an Indian and Hindi TTS engine, http://dhvani.sourceforge.net/
|
|
Currently written in c, but it looks like future versions will require Java VM.
|
|
Main problem at the moment is that dhvani sends audio directly to /dev/dsp with no option
|
|
to send to a wav file.
|
|
_ IBM ViaVoice plugin? IBM TTS is a proprietary runtime product with opensource API.

|
|
_ Add KTTS plugin to aKregator.
