[mythtv-users] A Plea to the Programmers

[Lee Maisel]

Hi!

My wife is blind, and severely physically handicapped. She does enjoy 
her TV and music. She is able to listen to her shows, etc. She easily 
learns the functions of remote controls, etc. However, what is really 
needed is someone to write a voice add-on for MythBuntu.

It should be very simple, using Festival or whatever speech program they 
want. All that's needed really is for whatever text that happens to be 
highlighted on the screen/menu/etc to be spoken!

She can easily get lost in the menus and frustrated because if nobody 
sighted is around, she has no idea what the TV is doing because she 
can't see it!

If someone would just write a simple addon to speak whatever is 
highlighted, that would be perfect for her.

I would, but I'm no programmer.

So I'm asking, if anyone feels like taking it on, please let me know. 
You would make her VERY happy, and end a whole lot of frustration for her.

We are using the latest MythBuntu.

Thank you!
