Really nice work! Thanks for all your efforts!

I have one question: Is this (in my ears horrible) espeak voice really not an issue? Did you just got used to it or is this metallic sound even on purpose?

@user8e8f87c well, it should be better soon with Spiel, but in the meantime you can Pied to get Piper integrated with speech-dispatcher

@joojmachine @user8e8f87c So far though, only espeak-ng via speech-dispatcher is available on GNOME OS, which is why I had to use it in the demo.

@Sonny @Tristan Partin @Matt Campbell @Sovereign Tech Fund Oh, I am embarassed now. It is looking and working great while testing. We need to find support for this in other parts of the desktop. Imagine the whole linux desktop environment is moving but again accessibility work is paused.
Is there a way so some well known foundation can launch a croutfunding campaign in order to try addressing this?
I know it's difficult but we have to join all the desperate people that are going to profit from this one day.
If we manage to find some 300 blind people to donate some 10 € per month to support this goal that might work to accelerate it. Don't you all think?

How about making the Video in the Post accessible with some subtitles?
