<pre>I am proud to announce the very first release of OpenTTS, version 0.1. Thanks
to everybody who made this release possible, you know who you are. The first
release series is focused on delivering a text to speech framework for the GNOME
orca screen reader, that is the same, and hopefully better, than the deprecated
gnome-speech solution that has been in use ever since the GNOME accessibility
project's inception. The OpenTTS development team is also planning on making
further usability improvements, which will aid both system administrators, and
end users alike.
PLEASE NOTE: This release is NOT considered stable. It is recommended that only
those who are willing to test, and report bugs use this first release of
OpenTTS. Since we are aiming to provide a usable solution for orca, our aim is
to deliver a stable release at the time GNOME 3 officially ships. Between now
and September therefore, we hope to make regular monthly releases for the
community to track our work, test, and give feedback. These releases will not
necessarily be considered stable, but will give users a snapshot they can use,
which is free of major show stopper bugs.
Release notes:
* OpenTTS can be used as a system wide service, however at the moment, this is
slightly extra work. The OpenTTS development team hopes to make OpenTTS as a
system service much easier to use in the near future.
Where can I get it?
OpenTTS 0.1 is available from the following locations:
Tarball: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://files.opentts.org/opentts/opentts-0.1.tar.gz">http://files.opentts.org/opentts/opentts-0.1.tar.gz</a>
git: git://git.opentts.org/opentts.git
Getting involved:
We are always willing to accept any help, no matter where it comes from, or what
skills you bring to the table. If you would like to contact us and get involved,
please do so in the following ways:
* OpenTTS project mailing lists, at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://lists.opentts.org">http://lists.opentts.org</a>. Please sign up to
the opentts-dev mailing list for development discussions. Moderate traffic,
low signal to noise ratio. There is also opentts-users, for user questinos,
and support. Extremely low traffic, currently low signal to noise ratio.
* Reporting/triaging bugs on the OpenTTS issue tracker, available at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.opentts.org">http://www.opentts.org</a>. Bugs can also be reported on the mailing lists, if
you prefer.
We welcome any and all contributions.
