[Kde-accessibility] KDE TTS API changes (Talkers and Plugins)

[Gary Cramblitt]

I have modified the API documents for the KDE TTS API and the KDE TTS Deamon 
Plugin API to add what I call "talker codes".

Talker codes permit the application to specify desired attributes for the 
speech, such as language, gender, speed, etc.  Since all the existing methods 
in the API already have a "language" argument, this change will not impact 
existing applications at all.  The attribute names were taken from the Speech 
Synthesis Markup Language (SSML) and Java Speech Markup Language (JSML) 
specs.

If acceptable, I plan to implement these enhancements over the next couple of 
weeks.

I'm interested in comments and suggestions.

You can see the changes to the KDE TTS API here:

And the new API for the plugin configuration widgets here:

Thanks
