I saw a woman using American sign language to talk with someone else today via the internet camera. That makes me wonder if there are visual sign language translators to change that into synthetic speech.
Adobe's speech synthesizer in version nine reads well enough yet still sounds rather flaky. I hope they can improve it.
One place they can definately improve things is in adapting PDFs to become EPUB files more easily than the present EPUB format that is not at all friendly for poetry and books that aren't written with just chapters such as in prose fiction. If one wants a chronlogical order without conventional chapters to use custom line indentations it is difficult.
A writer should not need to adapt his book to a computer language format designed for programmers instead of literary needs, and PDF should be able to let simple conformal criteria for placing breaks in existing PDF files enable PDF files to meet EPUB logic for book sales purposes.
