Development status
Matthieu: Documentation, code refactoring and comments are in progress.
Laurent: Evaluation of speech synthesizers in progress:
For now, we have at least one solution which consists of using eSpeak as the speech engine and ship Mail2Voice with non-free MBrola voice which guarantees better results. Of course, we will have to be really clear on the fact that a non-free software is embedded along with Mail2Voice but the MBrola license allow that for non commercial use and it will remain optional.
Reminder for developers: please use the BugTracker as much as possible.
Following roadmap still applies:
More comments (!)
Code refactoring (estimated 2 weeks)
Code documentation, will be published on the wiki. (estimated 1 week)
Implementation of the missing features (estimated 1 month)
Evaluation of speech synthesizers.
Integration of an (easy to understand) speech synthesizer (estimation 1 week ??)
Fix the localisation ¨+ Review and fix translations (estimated 1 week)
Replace proprietary 3rd party libraries (estimated 1 week)
Port to linux (+packaging) (estimated 1 week)
Project Management
We have a new contributor, welcome Diana Ibanescu! She wants to develop for Mail2Voice.
Matthieu proposed to plan regular coding sessions with Diana. This should allow for more productive code on short time period and to help each other for a better understanding of the project and goals.
