Component reuse
I've read the extension page, Wikispeech and Wikispeech/Pilot study, but I still don't find any answer to the biggest question, i.e. whether you are able to reuse libraries/third party components or you plan to develop everything from scratch and in isolation. --Nemo 08:24, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Text-to-speech is a huge endeavour (especially when having multiple languages as target), and to be viable I'd expect this extension to rely on existing software for the synthesis engine. The configuration mentions https://morf.se but the domain has no information.
 * Even the NLP component is potentially too big a project in itself, if you don't join forces with others. Producing annotated text is something that I'd expect to be provided by a "central" parsing API, to be used by others as well: there is a wide demand for text extracts and Content translation saw a lot of work on LinearDoc, segmentation and markup.
 * Even for the audio player I see no mention of whether you think TimedMediaHandler will be insufficient. I expect this to be the easiest part to fix at any point of the development, but I hope not much work is going to be devoted to the player (which seems to be the least interesting deliverable).
