What did you do to get that far? >The problem is, the speech is very monotone, Maybe that's just a matter of getting the right options through to it. Brltty's speech drivers do support driver-specific parameters, so, as needed, we could add support for whichever eSpeak options you need. Perhaps you could experiment with the espeak command in order to figure out which options achieve your goal. How monotonic or expressive a voice is is probably a user taste issue, and different for everyone. Speaking for myself: When I was experimenting with voices for my cell phone (I'm strictly braille on my computer), I found that I much prefer a monotonic voice for at least two reasons. The first is that it doesn't impose potentially wrong emotions on whatever it's telling me. The second, and perhaps more important, is that I find it much better when it comes to accurately hearing short phrases and/or tecnical information. >and it only speaks long enough to speak it's version. After this, it no longer >speaks anything else. I'm wondering if there may be an issue with the espeak >speech driver? Try logging with -ldebug,speech (and, of course, -L/path/to/logfile) to see if that reveals anything. >I'm also not sure how to navigate the screen with brltty. Do the numberpad >keys navigate by line, character and word? I use the keypad keyboard table.
