Unfortunatelly Onyx developers currently simply move this feature in their schedule to the later positions, since it is a rather seldom used feature. Moreover they are thinking to remove audio parts from their new devices to lower the prices (6" devices).. which is not good for development of TTS in onyx devices

Dear Booxtor,
If I understand correctly, adding a SVOX or IVONA voice is more complicated than simply adding a file to a directory (I tried). When you write about a plugin, I assume it is a software module that must be linked to the kernel?
What would it take for SVOX or IVONA to sell this plugin to an individual? If these companies don't sell to individuals, could we (or you) set up a distributor for voice plugins?
