This blueprint is incomplete.

Summary

This blueprint outlines the procedures to be taken to ensure cross communications with the Inferno sub-system.

Release Note

The Inferno platform provides speech synthesis for IRC Clients. This daemon application captures synthesizing requests; parses them accordingly and passes them to a specified speech synthesis engine. With this centralized system, it provides a flexibility in what kind of speech synthesis engine is used.

Rationale

Having such a daemon may be prove to be redundant; Speech Dispatcher provides the same services as the Inferno daemon. However, support for the MARY TTS via Speech Dispatcher is not currently available in Linux. The Inferno daemon provides said support by using the C++ API for MARY written also by the SpeechControl team.
