[Wikimediaindia-l] ‘Kanaja’ now accessible for the blind too.. How about wikipedia?

[Shiju Alex]

Yes for Malayalam wikipedia and its sister projects. We have users from
blind schools of Kerala reading Malayalam wikipedia and providing us
feedback also.

Two softwares are used by them to access Malayalam wikipedia. One is *
e-speak* and another is *Dhwani*. Recently few Malayalam wikimedians have
helped the e-speak team to make few enhancement in e-speak software.

If some of you don't know, Malayalam wikimedian Saanthosh has developed
text to speech software for Indic languages (Dhawni) long back in 2008.
Santhosh can provide details about it.
