Emacspeak is an audio desktop. For lojban in Emacspeak you may need to do two things: * specify the equivalents of lojban letters and IPA letters, an equivalence which has already been specified, and * speak the 6000 or so double phones, diphones, that Festival needs (and maybe a few triphones). I am told this is very boring. (I have not installed a new language into Emacspeak. Perhaps Festival Lite, which is what eflite calls, lacks the capabilities of the big Festival program. I don't know. If so, eflite either will not work or needs extra programing. That could be a problem; but as I say, I don't know.) It would also be nice to have different buffers with different pronunctiations, so Emacspeak pronounces a buffer containing Lojban in lojban and a buffer containing English in English. I do not know what that involves. -- Robert J.
