Hi all,

Warning, this is not a telephony question per se but yes, it does involve the use of freeswitch. I have an octogenarian grandmother. She has a hard time entertaining herself so I want to build a newspaper reading solution using freeswitch. The advantage of using freeswitch is that she is familiar with a phone so can dial in and work the phone keypad. I plan to give her a tablet with a voice over IP application so that she can hit the phone keys and use it independently. Yes, I know this is iffy but it is the best I can do right now. Most of our local newspapers do have rss feeds so I am planning to use mod rss. The wiki suggests I use mod_cepstral. My grandmother finds it easier to communicate in Hindi. I did not see a cepstral voice for Hindi hence I want to use espeak. My questions are as follows. 1. Can I use espeak with mod rss? If so what are the steps for doing so? 2. I see the java script at http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Mod_rss which pulls the rss feed. Does anyone have an example where multiple feeds are rendered through freeswitch?

Note: I already have freeswitch compiled and running on my raspberry pi.

Suggestions are welcome. Pranav
