This facility will help the child to type or learn the correct spelling of the word. It is natural for a human mind to memorize the sound of a word more easily than its exact spelling. So if he types the word incorrect then as the speaker will speak the wrongly typed word and it will not match with the sound he heard, he can easily correct the spelling. In this manner the speech can be incorporated in the existing sugar write activity.

Now these two options can be given in the GUI under the keyboard speaker option.
The first option is very easy implement.
For the second option I have written a sample keyboard_speaker.py only for demonstration purpose. It will be great if you test this script and give your comments.
The zip folder containig keyboard_speaker.py can be downloaded from
