[BRLTTY] Feature request: Speech profiles

[Eric Scheibler]

Hello,

I want to add another feature request for Brltty: Voice profiles
Background is, that I read and write in two languages: German and English.
At the moment it's relatively hard to switch the speech voice so that I
often only use the German voice to read both languages, not very
convenient.

I would need the following:
1. A shortcut to cycle through all specified languages (in my case there
are only two)
2. An option to set different speech rates for each language cause I read
German texts faster than English ones.

Now I see two possible solutions:
1. You could build exact this function into Brltty.
2. You also could give Brltty a complete profile manager (much more work
but not only useful for speech users I think). In this solution I for
example could create a profile for reading books (activate contraction
table), a second for programming (speak all entered characters) and so on. 
In this case I would add almost all Brltty settings to the profile. Then
the user can save it, create a new one with other settings and switch
between them with a shortcut.

What do you think about that?

Regards
Eric
