Module GSpeech

source code

Contains the GSpeech abstract base class which provides support for all gnome-speech devices. Device definitions using gnome-speech should derive from this class and override the AEOutput.USE_THREAD and AEOutput.COMMAND_CHARS properties if desired. The subclass should also provide GSpeech.createDistinctStyles and GSpeech._applyStyle methods. This module should never be directly registered as its own speech device with AccessEngine.AERegistrar as the GSpeech class does not fully implement the AEOutput.Base.AEOutput interface.
