[gui-talk] think it supports the reader now.

[qubit]

Hi -- first, the reader is implemented on a Symbian operating system, so the 
knfb people would have to port to the IPhone's OS.  This may or may not be 
difficult, depending on the way the 2 operating systems work.  As for 
quality of speech, from what I have heard, apple speech is very clear 
compared to other synths.  It is quite pleasant to listen to a mac after 
hearing a pc; the only caveat is that the more natural the speech, the less 
clear it tends to be at ultra high speeds where most blind persons prefer 
listening. But on a phone, perhaps the slower speed isn't a problem...? I 
have my reader cranked up to high speed.
People say they can't see how I can understand it. And that's the way I like 
it...*smile*
Happy listening.

Hi list members sorry for a cross post, but I was wondering if anyone saw
the announcement of the new Iphone.  According to Kim Komando the camera
has higher resolution and is 5 megga pixels now.  that should support the
reader at least in terms of resolution.  Does anyone know on the reader 
users
list if there is a software conflict with the Iphone and adapting the KNFB
reader software to it?  Also on the Gui-talk list, the braille monitor
article last December forgets to talk about the quality of the speech in
Voice-over, Does anyone on list use a mac, Ipad, or Iphone and can any of 
you
tell us how good the voice or voices are and what does it compare to in 
terms
of  synthesizers we're used too?
