Speech delay , also known as alalia , refers to a delay in the development or use of the mechanisms that produce speech. Speech communication Speech , as distinct from language , refers to the actual process of making sounds, using such organs and structures as the lungs, vocal cords, mouth, tongue, teeth, etc. Language delay refers to a delay in the development or use of the knowledge of language. Because language and speech are two independent stages, they may be individually delayed. For example, a child may be delayed in speech i.e., unable to produce intelligible speech sounds , but not delayed in language. In this case, the child would be attempting to produce an age appropriate amount of language, but that language would be difficult or impossible to understand. Conversely, since a child with a language delay typically has not yet had the opportunity to produce speech sounds, it is likely to have a delay in speech as well.

unreferenced date February 2009 Censorship Criminal speech is a legal concept that identifies certain kinds of speech as a crime . The concept is somewhat at odds with freedom of speech in its broadest sense, within the broader freedom of expression , and asserts certain limitations on such freedom. Concepts like criticism of government and criticism of royalty are controversial. Other concepts limiting certain kinds of speech are not, such as that which prohibits shouting fire in a crowded theater as a practical joke , and not as a warning , as such speech has the potential to cause harm. Laws vary by country according with the legal principles that such country adheres to. Most speech is unregulated, and does not violate law. In reference to authoritarian governments which assert serious controls, such controls are commonly called suppression of dissent . In democracies, the concept of hate speech has emerged in recent years, to counteract the political and social influence of hate groups .

Orphan date February 2009 The GNOME Speech API allows developers to incorporate speech technology into user interfaces for their GNOME applications. This API specifies a cross platform interface to support command and control recognizers, dictation systems and speech synthesizers. This GSAPI release is just a specification, not an implementation. The plan is to release it to the GNOME community for review. From feedback provided by reviewers and our attempts to implement the API as defined, the specification will be refined until it provides a clean and consistent API. This will then be GNOME Speech v1.0. Note that there is currently already a gnome speech CVS module on cvs.gnome.org. This provides a simple text to speech TTS API that provides sufficient support to allow the gnopernicus screen reader to function appropriately.
