A reader of the
#Malayalam #Wikipedia, a visually impaired reader at that, send a thank you e-mail to
Santhosh because he could follow the text thanks to the
Dhvani text to speech application.
Dhvani is capable of producing intelligible text for 11 Indian languages.
- Bengali
- Gujarati
- Hindi
- Kannada
- Malayalam
- Marathi
- Oriya
- Panjabi
- Tamil
- Telugu
- Pashto (experimental)
All these languages have
their Wikipedia and it is a happy surprise that a solution for accessibility issues for these Indian languages is a reality. The Wikipedia reader was grateful for what he had and asked if it would be possible to have Dhvani express input from the keyboard so that they are helped from "login" to "logout".
As the
Silpa project has applied for this years
Google Summer of Code, when Silpa is selected that could make this a reality this year.
Thanks,
GerardM
