Google Chrome wouldn't play the no extension files. Bizarrely it downloaded them.

I know just about nothing about sound on webpages: I copied the first snippet I found that worked

firefox didn't do anything. may have been server related. i'm using xerver at the mo because it is small and takes seconds to set up.

js is not my forte. i couldn't get the right syntax/escape sequence for the ' or " round type='audio/wav' to try it

Great to see so much happening around the navigation. Good work! I fiddled a bit more on the python espeak server. The new version now:

- sets cache headers
- doesn't get confused by slashes

- http://localhost:9999/turn right
will read out "turn right"

- http://localhost:9999/:turn-right.wav
will play "sounds/turn-right.wav" because the colon after the slash triggerd sound file handling

- http://localhost:9999/:turn-right.wav|at broadway then|:turn-left.wav
will play sound file,reat out 'at broaway then', play another sound file

- adds commands to a talk queue with each request

- http://localhost:9999/CQ
clears the queue

Very much a quick hack. It works better on my n900 then on my laptop - there aplay adds a second or two after each file. And of course, its utterly insecure to be able to pass in filenames - a mapping of sorts in the code is required. But maybe good enough for playing around :-)

Actually for testing CormacBs config.xml parser (thanks) I slightly modified the html he created:

and in speak_02.py:

SOUNDPATH = 'english/english_male/'

I deleted my .Maps folder from my Docs is there anyway to retrieve this?

Nokia Maploader through PC Internet and USB cable
(download map of country/countries or/and voices)

and/or

connect N900 to Internet and open Maps and it will download data for the places you look at

It's FAT so you could try file recovery tools more reliably than most other filesystems.

here is a link of direct links to ALL maps and voice files. http://www.hpsblog.com/2009/07/direc...0-without.html this may become useful.

Been wrestling with apache2 on Laptop for a bit trying to get extension-less file playback in Firefox. Managed to get Firebug to show that the page has a audio/wav plugin loaded by changing the default mime-type for the server to application/octet-stream. So far no sound though.

In the process of doing this, I've also tried to get <embed>'s onerror attribute working so I can at least get some idea of what is going on. Unfortunately, as yet I've had no success.

Had nothing but grief with web server trying to test out different settings to load extension-less files. I've even been having issues with the originally posted code. Works one minute then doesn't the next so its made testing an absolute nightmare.

I have however found a way to make it work reliably, for me anyway. If the server (apache linux, win32 and xerver) all want to be stupid....get rid of them. I've modified the test page so that it now can load local xml files. Rather than using

I'm now using:

This then presents the issue that xmlhttp.responseXML is blank, so I've added a function to take responseText and create the XML doc for the parser.
