Howdy, Sorry, I was sure I attached both lol. Default.conf should be attached to this one. I believe Kendell answered the stuff about Odroid and staging, but in brief, and Odroid is a small computer that uses the ARM architecture. Staging is part of the kernel where possibly unstable code is placed, it is unsupported. Speakup does not belong there, but is for whatever reason. Speakup is about ast stable as they come lol. I run Arch Linux on my computers. There is an Arch Linux Arm port, and it is the one that does not have staging in the kernel. I guess I could build my own kernel, I'll just have to figure out where to download the source from since this is not the mainline kernel. Brltty can work for most things for me, and for what it can't, I guess I could just use orca in a terminal emulator. Thanks Storm On Sat, Jul 02, 2016 at 10:28:48PM -0400, Dave Mielke wrote:

Brltty does use it. It doesn't stream new characters written to the screen. It allows the current screen content to be read.Speakup is a great screen reader. I personally love it and would happily be using it now, except the Odroid kernel doesn't include staging, so no speakup for me.What's the Odroid kernel? Is Odroid a Linux distribution that, for whatever reason, you prefer to use? What do you mean by "staging"?I have to find an alternative. I have been using full graphical for a while now.What do you use in graphical mode? Orca? If so, I guess you're already using brltty, as well, for that.A lot of people think the screen reader doesn't belong in the kernel.I guess what you're really saying is that you like Odroid (whatever it is), but they (the Odroid people) believe that the screen reader doesn't belong in the kernel, thus they don't think they should be including Speakup.Personally I could care less if it is in the kernel or user space, just so long as it works. I don't care about the politics, just the functionality lol,Yes, I understand. From their perspective, though, it's probably very hard to maintain something on an on-going basis that's in the kernel. Of course, that's something the Speakup people should be doing. Have they stopped doing it?As for getting it working with pulse, I can't take credit for that. Chrys figured that out. You just have to drop in 2 files and it will start playing nicely together. I have attached them here. The client.conf goes in the pulse config for root: Place the default.pa in your ~/.config/pulse directory Finally restart pulseaudio or reboot your computer and it should work.Only default.pa was attached. Please also send the other one (client.conf?). I can include them with brltty's distribution. I can also include a nice set of instructions if you won't mind writing up a nice how-to.Speech with espeak is a bit too quiet even on loudest setting, but other than that, it is very responsive and quite nice to use.I think I know what might fix that. Are you building brltty from source so that we can give it a try? -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | The Bible is the very Word of God.
