One of the things I'm working on at El Jordan is setting up a text to speech program on their computers so that people who do not know how to read can use the computers or learn to read better. Its actually using a program that is designed for English and seems to work fairly well in its native language. Unfortunately, its not doing quite as well in Spanish as it does in English. I have contacted the makers and am hoping that there are some updates or language files that will help fix the problem.
Right now, when it tries to read Spanish, it sounds exactly like Stephen Hawking trying to speak Spanish assuming he spoke no Spanish at all. Lukas of course thinks its the most hilarious thing since bodily function sounds.
Oh, one more thing I found funny today. On the way here, there is a computer "store". It is more of a closet with a couple computers in it. The name on the sign above is this: Internet Hacker
He is either the most arrogant hacker in the world to actually post a business sign for it, or he got his translations wrong.
