Let me quote from the release notes email: "*NO* features were removed in the making of this plugin." > Does Audio 3587 have all of the voice guidance in place, or just a > partial implementation? Again from the release notes: "Full Speech has been maintained throughout, in continued support of our ever growing number of blind community members." ...Two days work, on it's own ;) > What about the voice keyboard for choosing letters for building a file > name for config files and such? The keyboard/file-name entry thing does not seem to support speech. DAMN! ...I didn't spot that! That's the second bug in that file :( Okay, I will fix that for my special build in a few days (quite busy atm), but you will need to discuss it with the core devs if you want it fixed long-term. There are three screens full of obscure characters on that keyboard - of course the speech interface will likely never support all of them. hmmmmm In the mean time, I suggest you do not try to save with ON+F2, just use the automatic save feature which happens behind the scenes and only have one set of settings :( >I am really dying to try the software, but don't want to get stuck without >voice guidance, so if you could clear this up for me I'd be very grateful. I fully appreciate your predicament - be assured that the ONLY feature with no voice is the keyboard, and this is caused by Rockbox core code - I am trying really hard to not touch this code, because any fix I implement on the core code currently garuantees it will not be included due to the risk of "tainting." ...but if it's crippling my code, then I may do it anyway, and those concerned by the tainting issue can just never look at it :) >Thanks. You're welcome :) BlueChip >Best regards, > [RA] _______________________________________________ http://cool.haxx.se/mailman/listinfo/rockbox Received on 2004-06-09 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
