I discuss things in more detail (screenshots!) over here. I think if all you need is Word compatibility, then Abiword is your program. If you also need PowerPoint, then you're probably going to have to go to OpenOffice.

By the way, how do you pull off PowerPoint-over-VNC? Wouldn't you have to configure a remote Windows station to have an 800x480 screen? Or maybe, like me, you've installed MS Office on a Linux system using Wine, which you can then run in an 800x480 vncserver session, or even better, you can X-Forward your MS Office app to your tablet.

Some more reasons to package up a Debian chroot system:

I've also installed Firefox (Iceweasel) 3.0 in my Debian chroot, and it can do Java applets and Flash (although both are slow-running). Evolution is also installable if you need MS Exchange or Novell Groupware support.

Code:
(Parameter.set 'Audio_Method 'esdaudio)


When you did this, did you have my esd tarball installed,I am just wondering if it is calling esdplay still or if my esd.tgz is still needed?



Also I talked to Gnuite and we determined the issue with Maemo Mapper using a script to call festival with spanish, or brittish or female voice. He said he would fix it (Not sure on what timeline.) There is another work-around, and I almost have it working.

Either way, this will be working with Maemo Mapper soon. Once its working I will create a deb.

I was using my infamous Debian chroot; I just apt-get installed it from Debian.

I was not having luck with my fix, but it looks like wonderful Gnuite has the hook-up on the way.

Gnuite has made some changes, I tested in a devel version of maemo-mapper and I am able to point it to use spanish, or other voices. I need to package it all up and wait for a release from Gnuite, but I am suspecting it won't be too long.

I have been trying Penguinbait's Spanish Festival and works pretty well. The only problem is with special characters (á, é, í, ó, ú, ñ, ¡ and ¿). But it would be useful with Maemo Mapper.

Thanks.

Thanks.

This has 8 voices, 1 female, 1 Spanish, 1 brit, and 1 scottish the rest are US.
http://penguinbait.com/festival-multi.deb (20MB Download, 50MB uncompressed, takes up about 35MB on flash)

This is Spanish voice only
http://penguinbait.com/festival-spanish.deb (4MB Download, 12MB uncompressed, takes up about 8MB on flash)

These both install to /home/user/festival

Additionally a shell script called flite is created to allow spanish voices to be used in maemo-mapper. Gnuite is making an update to MM to support this.

For now, the flite script by default uses spanish, it can be changed just edit the file, I included all the voices in it, you just need to adjust the comments.

flite -t no habla espanol

Basically it just a dumb script which ignores the first parameter, no matter what the parm is
flite xxx no habla espanol

We should have an updated maemomapper soon

Does it include the slt_arctic_hts (female American) voice?

If it doesn't, can you package that one for me? Please? Please?
