*dhvani* is the Text-to-Speech effort of the Simputer Trust. The aim of this
effort is to ensure that literacy and knowledge of English are not essential
for using the Simputer. Using images in conjunction with voice output in
local languages makes the Simputer accessible to a larger fraction of the
Indian population.
Currently *dhvani* has a phonetics-to-speech engine which is capable of
generating intelligible speech from a suitable phonetic description in any
Indian Language . In addition, it is capable of converting UTF-8 text in
Hindi & Kannada to this phonetic description, and then speaking it out using
the Phonetics-to-Speech engine.
Development efforts are on to create a better phonetic engine, a platform
indepedent Java port, a language independent framework etc.
