cocoon 2 speech?
came across
http://freetts.sourceforge.net/
the first demo of cocoon that I ever did in public was a hello world
page in html, pdf, svg and voicexml, with the little merlin dude
speaking 'hello world' to the audience (got a standing ovation for
that!) It always bugged me that I needed an external tool for that that
worked only on windows... but I found this.
Have no time, but it would be cool if somebody could write a
voicexml->wav serializer using that (it's BSD).

Yes, you can use voice to navigate a Forrest site using the VoceXML
plugin as well, functionlaity is basic (go to section X, go back a
section, read this part etc.) I plan to use it to make an Toy Library
catalogue available to visually impaired users via VOIP and telephone.

Shame about LGPL, but thanks for the pointer, we failed to find that
when looking for .

There's more to VoiceXML than just text-to-speech. You should have a
look at JVoiceXML [1], a VoiceXML browser that uses Freetts. It's LGPL
though.

This really would be cool. Over on Forrest we have a whiteboard VoiceXML
plugin (donated by a GSoC student who did not get an award but still got
us started on the plugin, thanks HANAX). This plugin renders any Forrest
page as voice XML. Currently it only works with VoiceXML enabled
browsers (e.g. Opera on Windows), a serialiser would be great, even
better if we can then stream the result.

This would be great for CAPTCHAs and blind people... The problem in
normal registration codes when CAPTCHAs are used is that visually-
impaired people can not register.
Anyhow...

This really would be cool. Over on Forrest we have a whiteboard VoiceXML
plugin (donated by a GSoC student who did not get an award but still got
us started on the plugin, thanks HANAX). This plugin renders any Forrest
page as voice XML. Currently it only works with VoiceXML enabled
browsers (e.g. Opera on Windows), a serialiser would be great, even
better if we can then stream the result.
