12 All existing users of speech (outside of KDE proj) are probably fine or would
13 benefit from a better description anyway:
14
15 app-accessibility/brltty - 'speech support'
16 games-engines/scummvm - enable text-to-speech support through ...
17 gnustep-base/gnustep-gui - Audio support using app-accessibility/flite
18 media-sound/mumble - Enable text-to-speech support in Mumble.
19 net-im/kadu - Enables speech module
20 net-misc/eventd - Enable plugin for Text-To-Speech support
21 net-wireless/kismet - Audio support using app-accessibility/flite
22
23 There is some inconsistent existing use wrt 'espeak' and 'flite' - both are
24 imo fine when used to refer to the specific implementation, as in:
25
26 app-accessibility/speech-dispatcher
27 app-text/stardict
28 media-video/ffmpeg
29
30 These should switch to 'speech', imo:
31 media-sound/mangler[espeak] - Text to speech engine
32 app-i18n/translate-shell[tts] - Enable text-to-speech support
