As for audio, is not as difficult as it sounds. Morse was actually a protot= ype for it. We don't need full synthesis. We can prerecord common sente= nces and just tell letter by letter=C2=A0 when we don't have it prereco= rded. It's not optimal but good enough to solve most of the cases

Hi,
Considering the complexity of voice generation, maybe it would be more simp= le to support braille displays which should be less complex to implement. N= ot speaking that most blind people using computers should have one I guess,= since it sounds more productive to me.
My 2 cents to the subject.
Cheers,

Hi Majid,

currently grub includes audio output driver that outputs morse codes
for characters and digits using built-in PC speaker. I am not aware of
anyone working on full scale speech synthesizer, but I forward your
mail to grub-devel for attention.
