Thursday February 24, 2005 GOK turns 1.0, and FreeTTS turns 1.2Following on the heels of the Solaris 10 release, are two more accessibility releases! FreeTTS, the open source software text-to-speech engine written in the Java language, recently turned 1.2. FreeTTS ships with Solaris 10, and is one of the text-to-speech engines supported by the Gnopernicus screen reader/magnifier. The FreeTTS project is led by Willie Walker, one of my companions at the Sun Accessibility Program Office. Earlier this week, the incredible, award winning, dynamic GNOME On-screen Keyboard (aka GOK) turned version 1.0! Like FreeTTS, GOK ships with Solaris 10. As noted elsewhere, GOK provides a host of features not available in any other on-screen keyboard. To steal a line from David Bolter, Go Gok! (2005-02-24 15:40:04.0) Permalink Comments [2] |
