When starting KTTSMgr, it loaded the aRts plugin to determine if aRts is + available. But this started the aRts server and if user's machine does not have + proper audio sharing enabled, caused "device busy" errors. Now it starts the aRts + server only when playback begins the first time. + * Bump version from 0.3.5 to 0.3.5.1. + +2006-01-06 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * Fix BUG:118016 Not loading plugins when desktop language is not ISO-8859-1. + +2005-12-03 Jürgen Zdero + * Add German chat filter by Jürgen Zdero. + +2005-11-13 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * BUG:116031 Fix appendText method.

Build it with ./configure --enable-kttsd-akode. + There are a couple of problems. See README players/akodeplayer/README. + * Activate rich speak (XHTML to SSML) in Konqueror plugin. To speak richly, + you must configure the xhtml2ssml_simple XML Transformer plugin. + +2005-06-03 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * New ALSA audio plugin. Build it with ./configure --enable-kttsd-alsa for now. + * New Qt Rich Text to Plain Text filter by David Powell. + +2005-04-30 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * Change Current Sentence widget in Jobs tab to KTextEdit to avoid resizing when text does + not fit in box. + * HTML to SSML now working pretty well. Note that you must + 1. Have Festival 1.95 installed. + 2. Have rab_diphone voice installed. + 3. Have xsltproc installed. + 4. If you have Festival Talker configured, reconfigure it (Edit) so that it will detect + if you have rab_diphone voice installed. You must hit the Apply button. + 5. Enable XML Transformer filter and point it to xhtml2ssml_simple.xsl stylesheet. + 6. Right now, only speaks HTML from Konqi if you paste HTML from clipboard. + Speak button in Konqi not yet enabled until I get some confidence it is working well. + +2005-04-23 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * Break sentences longer than 600 characters into shorter sentences by changing comma to + period. This prevents Festival from droning on lower and lower in tone until it is + unintelligible or crashes. + +2005-04-22 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * If resumeText is called on a speaking job, do not restart it. + +2005-04-21 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * New Hungarian Hadifix (mbrola and txt2pho) voice available at + http://tkltrans.sourceforge.net/ + Since Hungarian requires ISO 8859-2 character encoding, added encoding option to + Hadifix plugin. Also, Hadifix plugin auto-selects a voice matching the user's + chosen language. + * Abbreviate USA and UK country names to save space. + * Display male/female icons in Festival Interactive configuration dialog. + * Use new Select Talker dialog in Talker Chooser filter. + +2005-04-17 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * Actions to be taken on notifications may now be specified at three levels + Specific event of specific application + All other events of specific application + All other events + * When the last event of an application is deleted, delete the app from + Notifications list. + +2005-04-12 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * Enhanced notification options.

These cause kttsd + to automatically start KTTSMgr when a text job starts, and automatically exit + KTTSMgr when all text jobs have finished speaking. + +2005-03-16 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * Bug fix. Interruption messages are spoken using the Talker of the interrupting message. + So if default Talker is en, and you do sayMessage "Guten Tag" "de", the "Text Interrupted. + Message" is spoken using German Talker. Interruption messages should speak using the + default Talker. + +2005-03-13 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * Bug. SBD Filter turned off by default. Not good! + * When running kttsd and no Talkers or Filters have been configured, automatically + attempt to configure them. Try to configure a Talker in the user's desktop language + and if that doesn't work, in English. Automatically configure the Standard + Sentence Boundary Detector. + +2005-03-12 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * Change toolbar buttons on Jobs tab to push buttons so they can be used from keyboard. + Clean up screen layout and add WhatsThis help. + * Added sayText convenience method to kspeech.h, which combines setText and startText + into a single call. Be sure to update kdelibs/interfaces/kspeech before attempting to + compile kttsd: + cd kdelibs/interfaces/kspeech + cvs up + make install + * When starting or restoring KTTSMgr, defaults to Jobs tab if visible. + * When clicking on Jobs tab, warn user if there are config changes not yet saved. + +2005-03-09 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * Add Hold and Resume items to systray menu. + +2005-03-06 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * Consolidated all the translation catalogues into single catalog called "kttsd". + +2005-03-05 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * Add support for Kiswahili, Zulu, and Ibibio Festival languages. Get them at + http://www.llsti.org/index.htm. Note that Ibibio does not have an assigned two-letter + (iso 639) code, so I gave it Zulu (zu), which is probably as bad as saying that English + is French, but it cannot be helped. The Ibibio and Zulu voices will only speak valid + Ibibio or Zulu text, so the Test button is non-functional for them until translators + provide translations. + +2005-03-02 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * BUG:100600 Fix for messages and warnings not spoken when text job is paused. + * Bug. Talker Chooser claims it can autoconfigure itself, but it cannot really. + * Allow to remove any Filter. + +2005-02-17 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * Remove festival/ and festivalcs/ plugins from source tree. AFAIK, these plugins don't work + and nobody is using them. And these are confusing packagers who think we have a build + dependency on Festival and Speech Tools libraries. Use festivalint/. + +2005-02-15 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * Translations now working. + * Include a copy of kdelibs/interfaces/kspeech in compat/ dir. This permits distribution + and compilation of KTTS for KDE less than 3.4. + * Support for Italian voices. Download from + http://www.csrf.pd.cnr.it/TTS/It-FESTIVAL-download.htm. + or http://mirko.lilik.it/Italian-FESTIVAL.zip + +2005-02-05 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * Version bumped to 0.3.0. + * Russian Festival voice added to voices file. Download voice from + http://nshmyrev.narod.ru/festival/festival.html. Must have Festival 1.95 beta or later. + Untar to festival/lib/voices/russian/ directory. Encoding must be one of the + single-byte cryllics, such as KOI8-R. + * Ability to load/save Talker Chooser and XML Transformer configurations. + * Some bug fixes related to Filters. + +2005-01-24 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * Add Talker Chooser Filter. + * Add option on Audio tab to preserve generated audio files by copying to user-specified + directory. + +2005-01-22 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * Allow filtering of notifications. (only setText and appendText are currently filtered.) + * Fix bug. Synchronous filters not being run. + +2005-01-21 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * Sentence Boundary Detector plugin now active. This means that SSML is parsed into + sentences and therefore can be rewound/advanced by sentence. It also means that + KTTS no longer crashes (taking KDE and X11 with it) on large HTML/SSML files. + * Filters can be applied based on the DCOP Application ID of app that queued the text + job. + * Filters can be applied based on language of Talker. + * StringReplacer filter can now load and save word lists to/from external file. + * Several other bug fixes. + +2005-01-13 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * FilterMgr class now implemented in kttsd, which means that filters now work. Well + almost. See TODO file for some nasty problems. (Hint: avoid large HTML/SSML pages!) + * Moved the TalkerCode matching and Talker plugins to TalkerMgr class so both + Speaker and SpeechData classes can access them. + +2005-01-09 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * Epos plugin defaults to ISO 8859-2 encoding. Pass encoded text to Epos client + via Stdin rather than command line to avoid encoding problem. + * Added encoding parameter to kspeech::setFile method. This allows for speaking a + file that is encoded different from global desktop default. + +2005-01-07 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * Start to Filters capability. StringReplacer Filter implemented in KTTSMgr GUI, + but not yet implemented in kttsd. + +2004-12-31 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * In KTTSD, if user has not yet configured any Talkers, prompt user and if they click + Yes, run KTTSMgr. User has option to turn off prompt. + * Activate kspeech::showDialog() method. + * The khmtlktts plugin automatically senses if KTTSD is installed and if not, + hides menu item. + +2004-12-30 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * Set LANG and LC_CTYPE environment variables before starting subprocess in Epos and + and Command plugins. Fix encoding bug in Epos plugin. Move common encoding routines + to PluginProc. + +2004-12-27 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * Add encoding option to Festival Interactive Plugin. When choosing a voice, default the + encoding option based on voices file. + * Add support for Polish Festival. + +2004-12-21 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * Require GStreamer 0.8.5 or above in configure.in.in. SuSE 9.2 users have + GStreamer 0.8.0, which causes KTTSMgr to immediately crash on startup. + +2004-12-20 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * kdenonbeta/kttsd moved to kdeaccessibility/kttsd. + * kdenonbeta/kttsd/libktts moved to kdelibs/interfaces/kspeech. libktts dropped. + * kdenonbeta/app-plugins/khtml-plugin moved to kdebase/konqueror/kttsplugin. + * kdenonbeta/app-plugins/kate-plugin moved to kdebase/kate/plugins/ktts. + * kdenonbeta/app-plugins/katepart-plugin moved to kdebase/kate/plugin/katepartktts. + +2004-12-19 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * Change Festival voices from ini to xml format. Permit translators to translate voice names. + * Add "--enable-kttsd-gstreamer" option to configure, defaulting to no. + Warn packagers not to distribute gstreamer in binary packages of kdeaccessibility as it + creates unwanted dependencies. + +2004-12-18 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * Remove kcmkttsmgr. Use kcmkttsd instead. + +2004-12-14 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * Under KDE 3.2, FestivalInt plugin automatically finding /usr/share/festival, rather + than /usr/bin/festival. + +2004-12-12 Release 0.2.0. First public release. + +2004-12-09 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * Require GStreamer >= 0.8.7. + * Bug. Always using default GStreamer sink in KTTSD. Honor user's choice now. + +2004-12-07 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * Add Festival Czech voice. + * Apply some Juk patches to GStreamerPlayer. + +2004-12-06 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * Initial, but primitive support for SSML with Hadifix. + +2004-12-03 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * Audio players are now plugins. This permits distribution of binary packages + without GStreamer being a mandatory dependency. + +2004-12-02 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * Bypass stretching (overall Speed setting) when utterance contains SSML. sox + mangles SSML pitch settings. + +2004-12-01 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * Some code reorganization. New TalkerCode object in libkttsd. + * Better Talker selection dialog when changing Talker in Jobs tab. + +2004-11-29 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * When clicking Test button, now honors users output method (arts or gstreamer) and + overall Audio Speed setting. + * Add option for GStreamer output sink. + +2004-11-27 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * Extremely rudimentary support for SSML/Sable using FestivalInt plugin. If it works for + you, it will be minor miracle. + * In FestivalInt configuration dialog, do not enable OK button if EXE Path is invalid. + * When Editing existing FestivalInt configuration, do not inadvertently change the selected + voice when rescanning. + * In FestivalInt configuration dialog, disable voice combo box until scan has been clicked. + +2004-11-26 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * Slight throughput improvement by eliminating pause at start of each Festival utterance. + * Bug fix. Can find synthesizers when HOME env variable is in the path. + +2004-11-25 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * Add Finnish Male voice (http://www.ling.helsinki.fi/suopuhe/download/) + * Improve throughput slightly by emitting Text Started signal after playback has begun. + +2004-11-24 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * Add overall Speed control to KTTSMgr Audio tab. This permits to speed up speech + even if the synth does not support it. Must have sox installed for this to work. + * Add Speed and Pitch controls to Epos plugin. Also set language. + * Better Speed adjustment for HTS voices. + +2004-11-23 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * Add support for OGI English and Spanish voices. + * Update Handbook. + * Better Spanish translations for voice names. + +2004-11-22 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * Add support for IMS German Festival. + * Update Handbook. + +2004-11-21 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * Add volume control to Festival Interactive. + * Accelerators for Festival Interactive configuration dialog. + * HTS voices only support Volume (not Speed or Pitch) + * Talker Codes reflect volume setting. + +2004-11-20 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * Add pitch control to Festival Interactive. + * GStreamer plugin. + +2004-11-17 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * Bug fix. Hosed Talker in KTTSMgr after removing a Talker and clicking Cancel. + * In KTTSMgr no longer record LastTalkerID in config file; compute at load time instead. + * Change Talker tab in KTTSMgr to "standard" layout. + * Bug fix. Talker matching. Tended to pick last talker no matter what. + +2004-11-13 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * Fix. Nothing happens when clicking Configure button for Festival Interactive + plugin if your desktop language is not English. Display translated name for + Synthesizer in Talkers tab. + * Display translated words for "male", "female", "neutral", "fast", "slow", "medium", + "loud", "soft" in KTTSMgr Talkers list and from Jobs "Change Talker" button. + * getTalkers() not returning country code as part of Talker Code. + * The Command plugin configuration dialog should enable OK button if %t or %f + appear in command, or "Send data via stdin" is checked. Also uncheck this option + by default in order for plugin to sense proper configuration. + * Add Jorge Luis Arzola to credits as tester. + +2004-11-11 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * Support for Festival 2.0. and Festival MultiSyn voices in FestivalInt plugin. + * Query Festival for available voices, rather than scanning for directories. + * Support for multiple versions of Festival executable. Now asks for EXE path rather + than voices path. + * Allow preload of Festival voices that take a long time to load. + If set, Festival is started when KTTSD starts and the voice is loaded. + * When stopText() is called and FestivalInt plugin is synthing (not saying) using + a pre-loaded voice, instead of killing Festival, which would cost hugely in + re-startup time, Festival is allowed to finish synthing and result is discarded. + This improves performance when rewinding/fastforwarding. + * Corrected FestivalInt voices file as to voice descriptions and languages. + Added MultiSyn voices. + * Added accelerators and WhatsThis help to FestivalInt, Command, Epos, Flite, and Hadifix + configuration dialogs. + * Added modal, cancelable, progress dialog while Testing in FestivalInt, Command, Epos, + Flite, FreeTTS, and Hadifix configuration dialogs. + This prevents a crash when user clicks OK or Cancel before test has completed. + * Command plugin always displays configuration dialog when added, i.e., never + autoconfigs. + * Speed adjustment disabled when using MultiSyn Festival voices. + * Allow KTTSMgr screen to be resized to minimum size. Allow splitter to resize jobs + ListView to minimum vertical size. + * No longer attempt to build Festival plugin (static linking to Festival/Speech Tools + libaries). User must explicitly request via ./configure --enable-kttsd-festival. + Code is woefully behind, I cannot get it to work, and probably wouldn't work + anymore even if I could get it to link and get past crash on first call to library. + FestivalInt seems to work just fine..grc. + +2004-11-10 Paul Giannaros (Cerulean) + * getTalkerCodes() returning corrupted talker codes. + +2004-11-04 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * Add English languages to FreeTTS desktop file so they show up in Add Talker dialog. + * When starting kttsmgr, if no Talkers are configured, default to Talker page. + * In kttsmgr, uncheck and disable Enable TTS checkbox until at least one Talker + has been configured. Once at least one Talker is added, enable the checkbox. + If all Talkers are removed, uncheck and disable the box and stop KTTSD. + * Give kttsmgr window an icon. + * Add option to embed KTTSMgr in the system tray. + +2004-11-03 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * Add ability to configure more than one plugin for a language, but with different + voices. Call them "talkers". + * Improve language selection and management in the KTTSD's configuration. Languages + added shouldn't be shown in the list of languages to add. Default languages should + show only the current languages. Languages should be shown as names and not codes. + Languages should be erased from the default language combo box. If a plugin does + not support a language, it should not be choosable. + * Add support for moving a text job to a different talker (language/plugin). + * Standarize the .desktop files + +2004-10-20 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * kcm_kttsmgr and kcm_kttsd are now identical libraries/KCModules. + Applications should use kcm_kttsd. When all apps have stopped + using kcm_kttsmgr, remove it. + +2004-10-19 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * The following installed files were renamed + on or about 19 Oct 2004: + In $KDEDIR/share/services/: + festival.desktop -> kttsd_festivalplugin.desktop + festivalint.desktop -> kttsd_festivalintplugin.desktop + command.desktop -> kttsd_commandplugin.desktop + hadifix.desktop -> kttsd_hadifixplugin.desktop + flite.desktop -> kttsd_fliteplugin.desktop + epos-kttsdplugin.desktop -> kttsd_eposplugin.desktop + freetts.desktop -> kttsd_freettsplugin.desktop + In $KDEDIR/lib/kde3/: + libfestivalplugin -> libkttsd_festivalplugin + libfestivalintplugin -> libkttsd_festivalintplugin + libcommandplugin -> libkttsd_commandplugin + libhadifixplugin -> libkttsd_hadifixplugin + libfliteplugin -> libkttsd_fliteplugin + libeposkttsdplugin -> libkttsd_eposplugin + libfreettsplugin -> libkttsd_freettsplugin + + Rename libkttsjobmgr to libkttsjobmgrpart per kdelibs/NAMING convention. + + There is a new shell script, clean_obsolete.sh that will remove these + obsolete files from your system. + +2004-10-14 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * Fix crash when clicking Cancel to prompt for Other language code, or user + enters an invalid language code. + +2004-10-13 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * libktts is now a versioned shared library. You may need to remove the + unversioned library, ie. + rm $KDEDIR/lib/libktts.* + +2004-10-13 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * Revert previous change. Sorry. + +2004-10-13 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * Remove versioning from libkttsd. + NOTE: After rebuilding and installing, you will want to delete + the following file: + $KDEDIR/lib/libkttsd.so.1.0.0 + +2004-10-12 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * Added Handbook. + * Help button and system tray content menu display Handbook. + +2004-09-07 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * Added 6 new HTS voices for Festival and FestivalInt plugins. + Courtesy of "N.Cat" Triskelios. + Download the voices from http://hts.ics.nitech.ac.jp/ + +2004-09-04 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * Rename Hadifax to Hadifix. + NOTE: After rebuilding and installing, you will want to delete the + following files: + $KDEDIR/lib/kde3/libhadifaxplugin.la + $KDEDIR/lib/kde3/libhadifaxplugin.so + $KDEDIR/share/services/hadifax.desktop + +2004-09-02 Paul Giannaros + * FreeTTS plugin. + +2004-08-28 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * GStreamer player added. Doesn't work right now because gstreamer 0.6 + has issues with wav files. Try again when KDE bindings (gst) have been + updated to gstreamer 0.8. + * If jobNum parameter in dcop calls is 0, default to last job queued by the + application, or if no such job, the current job (instead of last job). + * After call to stopText, if there more speakable jobs in the queue, they begin + speaking. + * Emit textPaused and textStopped signals as documented. + * Fix bug in festivalint plugin. Hangs sometimes with short utterances caused + by writing to Stdin before Stdin buffer is empty. + * Better sentence parsing. + * Minor fixes to kttsjobmgrpart. + +2004-08-09 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * Remove requirement to copy pluginconf.h to $KDEDIR/include when running designer + against plugin configuration widgets. + * Epos plugin not listing codecs. + * Some plugins listing codecs multiple times. + * Select and ensure default language visible when first displaying kttsmgr. + * Auto select and prepare Properties tab when adding a new language in kttsmgr. + +2004-08-08 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * Add plugin for Epos TTS Synthesis System (czech and slovak). + +2004-08-07 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * Existing release marked with tag ktts-0-1. + * New version of KTTS is 0.2. + * Many changes to KTTSD and the KTTSD plugins. + * QThreads have been mostly eliminated, which were causing anomalies. + * See libkttsd/pluginproc.h for the new plugin API. The new API is backwards + compatible to the old API. + * Plugins now perform synthesis separate from audibilizing, but they may do + both if needed. If a plugin supports separate synthesis, it returns True + in supportsSynth() method. + * If a plugin supports separate synthesis, KTTSD sends the synthesized audio file + to aRts for playback. The playback code has been designed with future + alternate playback plugins in mind, example gstreamer. (The code was adapted + from Juk with minor changes.) + * Plugins may work asynchronously, provide status via state() method and emit + signals when an operation has completed. If a plugin supports asynchronous + operation, it returns True in supportsAsync() method. + * If a plugin does not support asynchronous operation, it is wrapped in a QThread, + which is the same as before. See threadedplugin.h/cpp. + * Because playback is separate from synthesis and plugins work asynchronously, + pauseText or stopText _immediately_ pause or stop playback in mid-sentence. + * New plugin, flite, added for direct support of Festival Lite. + * The festivalint, command, and hadifax plugins were rewritten to support + these new capabilities. + * Need someone to rework the freetts plugin. I don't have JVM. + * Each plugin (except festival and freetts) now has a "Test" button on the + configuration dialog. + * The option to play a sound on text interruption now works. + +2004-07-10 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * Warn user if festival not installed. + * Install voices data file for festival interactive plugin even if + festival plugin not installed. + +2004-06-05 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * Draft KDE Text-to-Speech API Draft 3. + * Removed concept of paragraphs. + * Added concept of text job parts. + * Added sayScreenReaderOutput method. + * Replaced nextSenText, prevSenText, nextParText, prevParText with moveRelTextSentence. + * Added jumpToTextPart. + * Removed paragraph settings from configuration dialog. + +2004-05-31 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * Move speaking of notifications to KTTSD and persist notify settings. + * Clean up kcmkttsmgr.desktop and install to correct place. + +2004-05-23 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * Add option to speak KNotify notifications. + +2004-05-22 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad) + * Change menu item to "Speak Text" on the Tools menu in app-plugins.
