QuinIf my home timeline is any indication, the number of Move orders Ableton has gotten from blind people across the world in the past 24 hours has gone up by like 300%. Mostly thanks to some random dude making an open source project.
Toni Barth@TheQuinbox Sad thing is, as far as I know, people have asked Ableton to just provide us with an on-board screen reader from when the first video on it came out back in the day. They always avoided it with various excuses. Man, the moment we got the first device into our hands and noticed its basically just a Raspi we all knew it was possible, and not even hard to do at all. Talking about a company just doing as much as they need to generate income.
Matt Campbell@ToniBarth @TheQuinbox Has anyone figured out how to hack the device to do TTS output on-device alongside other audio yet? I'm inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt on the reasons they gave.
@matt @ToniBarth That's what Move Everything does. It uses espeak or flight.
@TheQuinbox @ToniBarth Oh shit, I might have to buy one of these too. Don't know if the actual music application will be my thing, but I'm perpetually curious about how companies do Linux-based devices.
@matt @TheQuinbox I might get my hands on a used one on eBay or something.
