You cannot do permanent damage to an ipaq by re-imaging it. I have spoken with people who have messed up their installation of some of the early releases of linux for ipaq, and compaq fixed the machine for them (they put wince back on it) if you actually follow the directions nowdays, there's not much chance of messing up anything. it's become pretty well tested. as for speech, there's no reason flite or javaspeak or anything else won't work. I've seen the qt-embedded speech stuff work on an ipaq. go ahead, buy one, re-image it and hack to your heart's content! they're cheap and common. in fact there's probably someone in your local linux user's community who has done it and could help/advise you. enjoy, J -----Original Message----- From: blinux-list-admin@redhat.com [mailto:blinux-list-admin@redhat.com]On Behalf Of nath31 Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2002 5:15 PM To: blinux-list@redhat.com Subject: TTS on a IPAQ Hi all, I come back with this subject. I'll be very happy to have an IPAQ running Linux with speech. I surf the web this afternoon searching how to release my wish and saw that it exists a binary version of flite built to run on an IPAQ. so I want to know if someone here has ever tried this solution and also if it has been difficult ? This machines are very expensive and then if you make a mistake installing Linux and the TTS can you destroy the machine ? Thanks for your subgest !
