Hello! I have just uploaded the first developer version of brass, a braille and speech server for Linux. You can find it on: http://www.butenuth.onlinehome.de/blinux/ Some features of brass: · Supports several types of braille terminals connected to the serial port · Multilingual speech support (currently English and German) · Support for several hardware synthesizers · Speech without any hardware synthesizer through a soundcard. · Can be controlled by keys on the braille terminal and with the keyboard (this needs a kernel patch). · Modular code, easy to extend The brass code is based on the brltty code, but many things have changed. This version is not for the "end user", there is not much documentation. But I hope there will be some beta testers. Roger Butenuth
