[blindza] brailleTTS output...<smile>

If you want to have a look/listen to the following _experimental_ webpage, 
you'll find that it tries to take whatever characters you type in the text box, 
and then output/render them into audio text-to-speech currently using 
dynamically merged sound clips generated using one variant of the eSpeak 
synthesizer:
http://www.blindza.co.za/brailleTTS/

It currently only accepts/handles letters A through Z, but you can type in a 
whole string/word, and it will handle each letter/character one by one, and 
play the audio output sort of in background.

Only seems to be working properly with internet explorer from minor/tiny bit of 
testing this side - for some reason doesn't want to necessarily work with 
firefox this side, for now, but, might also be related to version or something, 
so you're welcome to test it with various browsers/operating systems, and let 
me know, since, know, for now anyway, don't think it will work on my nokia 
phones either.

If you just want to get an idea of how it's handling dynamically generating 
sound output, something like the following address will get it to send a 
dynamically generated sound clip for the three letters/characters, A B C to you 
for download:

And, this is only currently making use of basic english braille, and I 
literally typed the dot renditions of all letters in alphabet out now, off top 
of my head, so could have made a mistake/gotten one or two wrong, but, would be 
easy enough to correct, or do something like build up database of various 
braille character sets if wanted.

Funny thought was also could use something like this easily enough in reverse 
for like blindie-only captcha if wanted - as in ask them to then retype a word 
in normal letters after you had read the braille rendition to them...<smile>

Stay well
