HI ivano let a chance for people to go back from shopping and to read your mails.
Hello everyone. A friend of mine suggested me to use Pharo because I ask him for informations on Emacs in order to do some MultiMedia stuff. Now, is Pharo ok to do this? (list follows) Raster graphics (processing, synthesis, input/capturing, output/saving),
vector graphics (same), There is a binding for openSVG and we will push it more.
3D graphics (modeling, rigging, rendering, raytracing, opening and saving 3D files), Some of them www.opencroquet.org http://www.impara.de/
sound processing (sound synthesis, algoritmic music composition, post processing), There were a lot of work now I'm not expert on sound. Geomastro Haute ecole de musique of Geneves is using pharo to develop specific software
video editing (opening, saving, cutting/rotating/processing video files), There is a connection with Gstreamer and an old Mp3/mpeg support (I do not know the start)
Now have a look at www.opensophie.org because this was made in Squeak.
text processing (HTML output, regex/find and replace/whateverI would do with Word + Excel), yes
Optical character recognition, I do not know.
text to speech, klatt was first try but now this is old. Better connect a library for doing that. Sme years ago we connected a database and system for french prononciation (tag brill or something like that)
speech recognition, not that I know
ASCII Art. ??
Thanks in advance for any answer.
