Description-en: Common interface to speech synthesizers
Speech Dispatcher provides a device independent layer for speech synthesis.
It supports various software and hardware speech synthesizers as
backends and provides a generic layer for synthesizing speech and
playing back PCM data via those different backends to applications.
.
Various high level concepts like enqueueing vs. interrupting speech and
application specific user configurations are implemented in a device
independent way, therefore freeing the application programmer from
having to yet again reinvent the wheel.
.
This package contains Speech Dispatcher itself.
