I'm a sighted software developer who had just started work in a school for the blind. Would like advice. (self.Blind)
submitted by CarpeCol
Hi there. I'm new to this field of software dev and am starting to learn NVDA and the various text reader/speech synthesis applications for starters.

The school I work in is French speaking, and a lot of speech synth stuff is written for the English language, so I will have to adapt and update incomplete rules sets for French.

Being new to this field I still don't know the best sites for information on learning to program language rule sets (such as SimpleSpeech .tdl file writing , clearspeak, and espeak).

Is there a good subreddit for the more technical aspects for accessibility software?

Where do I go from here?

Hmmm. Espeak itself has decent documentation, I think: https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng

This list might also have more useful information for you: https://www.freelists.org/list/nvda-translations

A lot of us around here are pretty technical, but at least personally, I only speak English. So I'm afraid I have absolutely no idea about internationalization.
