  <title>Introduction</title>

  <para>
    &kmouth; is a program that enables persons that cannot speak to let their
    computers speak. It includes a history of spoken sentences from which the
    user can select sentences to be re-spoken.
  </para>
  <para>
    Note that &kmouth; does not include speech synthesizer. Instead it requires
    a speech synthesizer installed in the system.
  </para>

  <sect1 id="Wizard">
    <title>The first start</title>
    <para>
      During the first start of &kmouth;, a wizard is displayed into which you
      can enter some basic configuration.
    </para>

    <para>
      With the first page of the wizard (the left screen shot) you specify
      the command that shall later be used for the text-to-speech conversion.
      For more details look into the <link linkend="tts-config">description
      of the configuration dialog.</link>
    </para>
    <para>
      With the second page you select which standard phrase books you need.
      From the phrase books you later can select often used phrases so that
      you do not need to type them in. Of course &kmouth; also has an edit
      dialog for the case that you later want to edit your phrase books.
    </para>
    <para>
      With the third page (the right screen shot) you define the dictionary
      for a word completion. &kmouth; will parse the &kde; documentation of
      the chosen language in order to detect the frequentness of individual
      words. Optionally you can compare the word list to an OpenOffice.org
      dictionary in order to only add correctly spelled words to the word
      completion.
    </para>
  </sect1>
  <sect1 id="main-window">
    <title>The Main Window</title>
    <para>
      The main window of &kmouth; is fairly simple. It consists basically of an
      edit field into which you type your sentences (the lower white field in
      the screen shot) and a history of spoken sentences (the upper white field
      in the screen shot).

    <para>
      Assuming that you have correctly <link linkend="config-dialog">configured
      &kmouth;</link> you can use the edit field for entering sentences you
      want to hear. Once a sentence got spoken it will be appended to the
      history. From the history you can select sentences to be re-spoken.
    </para>
    <para>
      From the phrase books (located in the line below the tool bar) you can
      select often used phrases.

      <para>
        Into the edit field of the <guilabel>Text-to-Speech</guilabel> tab you enter the command
        for calling the speech synthesizer. With the combo box below the edit
        field you specify the character encoding that is used for passing the
        text to the speech synthesizer.
      </para>
      <para>
        &kmouth; knows two ways of passing the text: If the command expects the
        text as standard input you select the check box.
      </para>
      <para>
        The other way is to pass the text as a parameter:
        Before calling the command &kmouth; replaces certain placeholders with
        actual content:
        <informaltable frame="topbot">
         <tgroup cols="2">
          <thead>

          </tgroup>
        </informaltable>
      </para>
      <para>
        Off course the command for speaking texts is dependent on which speech
        synthesizer you use. Please look into the documentation of your speech
        synthesizer for the command for speaking texts. You can find examples
        for the command in the <link linkend="tts">appendix</link>.
      </para>
      <para>
        By selecting <guilabel>Use KTTSD speech service if possible</guilabel> you tell &kmouth;
        first to try to send the text to the KTTSD speech service. If this succeeds the
        other configuration entries on this tab are ignored. The KTTSD speech
        service is a &kde; daemon which gives &kde; applications a standardized
        interface for speech synthesis and is currently developed in <acronym>SVN</acronym>. It
        is safe to select this option even if KTTSD is not installed.

          <para>
            If you use this source &kmouth; will ask you for the intended
            language and afterwards parse the &kde; documentation. The
            frequentness of the individual words is detect by simply counting
            the occurrences of each word. Optionally you can compare the word
            list to an OpenOffice.org dictionary in order to only add correctly
            spelled words to the new dictionary.

          <para>
            If you use this source &kmouth; will ask you for the intended
            file. You may either select an &XML; file, a standard text file or
            a file containing a word completion dictionary created by either
            &kmouth; or GOK (the GNOME On-screen Keyboard). If you select a
            standard text file or an &XML; file the frequentness of the individual
            words is detected by simply counting the occurrences of each word.
            Optionally you can compare the word list to an OpenOffice.org
            dictionary in order to only add correctly spelled words to the new

            Each file is either loaded as a completion dictionary, as an &XML; file
            or as a standard text file. In the latter two cases the occurrences of
            each individual word in the file is counted. Optionally you can compare

      <question>
        <para>Festival</para>
      </question>
      <answer>
        <para>
          Festival is a text-to-speech system written from the University of
          Edinburgh. It currently supports English, Spanish and Welsh speech.
          Its license allows to use and distribute Festival free of charge
          without restrictions.
        </para>
        <para>
          In order to create the command line example for the text-to-speech
          configuration we assume that Festival is installed in the directory
          <filename class="directory">/usr/local/festival/</filename>. The
          command for speaking texts then is as follows:
        </para>
        <para>
          <screen><userinput><command>/usr/local/festival/bin/festival</command> <option>--tts</option></userinput></screen>
        </para>
        <para>
          The option <guilabel>Send the data as standard input</guilabel> must
          be enabled.

      <question>
        <para>FreeTTS</para>
      </question>
      <answer>
        <para>
          FreeTTS is a speech synthesizer written entirely in the &Java;™
          programming language. It currently only has support for English
          pronounciation. Its license allows to use and distribute FreeTTS
          free of charge without restrictions.
        </para>
        <para>
          In order to create the command line example for the text-to-speech
          configuration we assume that FreeTTS is installed in the directory
          <filename class="directory">/usr/local/freetts/</filename>. The
          command for speaking texts then one of the following three examples:
        </para>
        <para>
          <screen><userinput><command>java</command> <option>-jar /usr/local/freetts/lib/freetts.jar</option> <option>-text %t</option></userinput></screen>
        </para>
        <para>
          <screen><userinput><command>java</command> <option>-jar /usr/local/freetts/lib/freetts.jar</option> <option>-file %f</option></userinput></screen>
        </para>
        <para>
          <screen><userinput><command>java</command> <option>-jar /usr/local/freetts/lib/freetts.jar</option></userinput></screen>
        </para>
        <para>
          For the third example the option <guilabel>Send the data as standard
          input</guilabel> must be enabled. (This one is the preferred example
          for the use with FreeTTS.)

      <question>
        <para>MBROLA</para>
      </question>
      <answer>
        <para>
          MBROLA is a speech synthesizer for a large number of languages. It
          converts a list of phonemes to a wave file, so you need some other
          tool to convert the text into a list of phonemes. The license of
          MBROLA allows to use and MBROLA free of charge for non-commercial,
          non-military applications.
        </para>
        <para>
          For our example we will use Hadifax in order to convert German texts
          into a list of phonemes suitable for MBROLA. We will assume that
          Hadifax and MBROLA are installed to
          <filename class="directory">/usr/local/hadifax/</filename> and
          <filename class="directory">/usr/local/mbrola/</filename>.
        </para>
        <para>
          Unfortunately Hadifax tends to swallow the last character of the text,
          so we may want to add an additional character to the text. The complete
          command is therefore more complex than the previous examples:
        </para>
        <para>
          <screen><userinput>(<command>cat</command> <option>-</option>; <command>echo</command> <option>&quot; &quot;</option>) | <command>/usr/local/hadifax/txt2pho</command> <option>-f</option>
          | <command>/usr/local/mbrola/mbrola</command> <option>-e</option>
          <option>/usr/local/mbrola/de1/de1 - /tmp/tmp.wav</option>;
          <command>artsplay</command> <option>/tmp/tmp.wav</option>; <command>rm</command> <option>/tmp/tmp.wav</option></userinput></screen>
        </para>
        <para>
          All parts of this command need to be written into one line. The option
          <guilabel>Send the data as standard input</guilabel> must be enabled.
        </para>

      <question>
        <para>The &kde; Text-to-Speech Daemon</para>
      </question>
      <answer>
        <para>
          The &kde; Text-to-Speech Daemon (KTTSD) is a &kde; wide text-to-speech service
          which gives &kde; applications a standardized interface for speech synthesis
          and is currently developed in <acronym>SVN</acronym>. It uses plug-ins in
          order to support various text-to-speech systems.
        </para>
        <para>
          As the configuration of the speech synthesizer is done in KTTSD the only
          &kmouth;-specific option you need to activate is <guilabel>Use KTTSD speech
          service if possible</guilabel>.
        </para>
        <para>
          Of course you need to configure KTTSD. You may do this with the configuration
          page <guilabel>KTTSD Speech Service</guilabel> that is added to the configuration
          dialog of &kmouth; if KTTSD is installed.

    <para>
      In order to successfully use &kmouth;, you need a speech synthesizer
      (and of course &kde; 3.x). &kmouth; uses about 15 MB of memory to
      run (plus the amount of memory needed by your speech synthesizer),
      but this may vary depending on your platform and configuration.
