Kolibre client wish list

The Kolibre client has reached it's main goal: A user can navigate in and play back a Daisy talking book over the internet, with the help of a guiding voice and a keypad. But there are many other features that can be built into the client to make it more useful.

This is a wish list on features we'd like to implement on the client. Suggestions are of course very welcome, read about how to suggest a feature [here] (https://github.com/kolibre/libkolibre-builder/wiki/How-to-suggest-a-feature).

• Support for narration of mp3 files
• Support for playback of offline content (downloaded content, cd, usb, memory card etc)
• Support for downloading content from a DaisyOnline service (requires support for offline content)
• Support for multiple DaisyOnline services
• Support for rendering user announcements from a DaisyOnline service
• Support for storing and fetching bookmarks to/from a DaisyOnline serivce
• Support for remote management of device/player settings (requires hosting of a profile service)
• Support for text-to-speech (TTS) engines (espeak, acapela, loquendo etc)
• Support for text only digital talking books (requires TTS support)
• Support for epub content (requires TTS support)

A Kolibre client does not necessarily need to be run on custommade hardware, even if visually impaired often prefer players with a tactile interface. We'd also like to see the Kolibre features used on desktops, tablets and mobiles, which would require further development that hopefully could reuse some of Kolibres libraries:

• Cross platform (Windows, Linux, Mac) GUI
• Mobile app (iPhone, Android, WP)
