[GTALUG] help ask that eloquence tts be open source.

[Karen Lewellen]

Hi folks,
Sharing this here because while tts is indeed apart of some adaptive 
technology tools, its use in devices serving the general populous is 
expanding as well.
There is an effort to ask Microsoft to make the tts engine Eloquence  open 
source.

while this can be a matter of opinion, Linux tends to suffer a great deal 
from poor quality, and complex to configure tts  options.
granted the link does not work well in lower graphical environments. 
Still,
if this 
resonates, please share and forward, its   one of those areas where 
adaptive technology and broader technology  intersect after a fashion.
Thanks,
Karen
