Howdy,
Oh, I must be misunderstanding what autoread is supposed to do. I wonder if 
y'all would consider adding a setting to read text as it comes in? It would 
make mudding and some other tasks a lot easier.
Thanks
Storm

Although I have autoread turned on, new incoming text is not read. This is the
case for most things, like if I type ls, the list of files isn't automatically
read, and I have to use kppluss+numpad 7 and 9 to move through the output.

Yes, that's expected. Brltty doesn't monitor characters as they're being
written to the screen. It looks at the screen for how it is as a whole, and
tells you, based on your settings, what has changed.

Also, even on the loudest setting, the espeak driver is still very quiet.
Using espeak with the speech-dispatcher driver is much louder, but I would
prefer just to use the espeak driver itself. It is still usable, but I was
wondering if maybe it could be changed to take full advantage of espeak's
volume range.

Are you building brltty from source? If so, I an suggest a change to the source
to see if it resolves your problem. If it does, we can make that change
permanent.

I'm not sure what the programatic version of this would be, but if you type
espeak -a 200 "message" then the speech is at max volme.

Yes, it looks like brltty's eSpeak driver is limiting the volume to only 100%.
