One option for solving this, is to create a backend for OS X that doesn't use SDL. This would mean writing replacement code for the parts where SDL currently handles things (i.e. atleast audio/video/input, but possible other details). A major aim of such a project would be to retain backwards compatibility with 10.2 as we have today, while allowing for a good user experience on the very latest OS X versions as well | One option for solving this, is to create a backend for OS X that doesn't use SDL.

=== Text to speech === | |||
Technical contacts: Our IRC channel, our mailing list, or contact [[User:Strangerke|Arnaud Boutonné]] or [[User:criezy|Thierry Crozat]] | |||
We have two suggested tasks in the direction of text-to-speech: | |||
==== Adding text to speech support in Mortville Manor ==== | |||
Difficulty: easy. | |||
The original Mortville Manor game was using a speech synthesis based on PC Speaker. | |||
The purpose of this task is to replace obsolete speech synthesis by an external dependency which will allow to implement a | |||
decent text to speech generation, in (at least) French, German and English. | |||
==== Adding speech synthesis of on-screen text for people with reduced sight or for learning to read ==== | |||
Difficulty: medium. | |||
Using the same library used in the previous task, add a similar text to speech generation for other games. The exact list of titles should be defined as soon as possible between the mentors and the student. | |||
This task would allow people suffering of sight issues to play more games in ScummVM, but it could also be very useful to help people to learn how to read. | |||
