Hi Blinuxers, 

the MBROALA team announced their 'Project W'.
Could we use this for us (Braille to speech?).

Enjoy!

Dear Mbrola users, 

1) CR1, a Croatian diphone database is available thanks to the
   work of Juraj Bakran and Nikolaj Lazic of the Department of
   Phonetics at University of Zagreb. 

2) Mbrola 3.00 is now available for Mac users. Get it from the mbrola
   download page:  
	           http://tcts.fpms.ac.be/synthesis/mbrcopybin.html

3) Project W is here at last...

			  http://tcts.fpms.ac.be/synthesis/w/

The W project aims at creating a fast computer keyboard driver for
      people with speech disabilities. The related software is based
      on grade II Braille languages developed by blind people
      associations all over the world and minimizes the number of
      keystrokes to utter a word (the name of the project is the grade
      II abreviation for "word" in English). In combination with the
      MBROLA project, W could put words in the mouth of thousands of
      users, in tens of languages. 


stay tuned,

		 The mbrola team
