I understood that to mean that the description text should start on the same line, and the blank lines after the description text should be removed. I've put them back in. Someone more familiar with the speakup code will have to dig into it to resolve the TODO items I suppose.

I have a recollection of documenting most of this on the speakup list in response to a similar query a number of years ago. Unfortunately, the speakup mailing list archives aren't easily searchable, and I don't have a local copy of that mail. Kirk, doing grep with a few of the file names in /sys/accessibility/speakup against the list's mbox file archive should find that message if it's in fact there. If you can please find it, and post the date when it was sent, we can provide a URL to that thread as a starting point.

If my recollection is wrong, and such a > message isn't in the archives, I'll write up what I know about. I've located the message I was thinking of in the archives, but that describes some speakup key commands, not /sys/accessibility/speakup. So, here's what I know, and hopefully someone else can fill in the rest. attrib_bleep Beeps the PC speaker when there is an attribute change such as foreground or background color when using speakup review commands. One = on, zero = off. I'm not currently at a machine with a working PC speaker, so can't test this right now. bell_pos As far as I know, this works much like a typewriter bell. If for example 72 is echoed to bell_pos, it will beep the PC speaker when typing on a line past character 72. Again, no PC speaker at the moment here, so can't actually test this. bleeps Not 100% sure, but I believe this controls whether one hears beeps through the PC speaker when using speakup's review commands. If no one jumps in on this, I'll experiment when at a machine with a working PC speaker, and will reply back with details. bleep_time Again, not 100% sure, but I believe this controls the duration of the PC speaker beeps speakup produces. I'm not sure of the units this is in either, possibly jiffys. I'll come back with more details on this one if no one else does. cursor_time Don't know. delimiters Don't know. I've tried echoing various characters to this and looking for differences when reviewing the screen, but no luck. ex_num Don't know. key_echo Controls if speakup speaks keys when they are typed. One = on, zero = off or don't echo keys. keymap I believe this is the currently active kernel keymap. I'm not sure of the format, probably what dumpkeys(1) and showkey(1) use. Echoing different values here should allow for remapping speakup's review commands besides remapping the keyboard as a whole. no_interrupt Controls if typing interrupts output from speakup. With no_interrupt set to zero, typing on the keyboard will interrupt speakup if for example the say screen command is used before the entire screen is read. With no_interrupt set to one, if the say screen command is used, and one then types on the keyboard, speakup will continue to say the whole screen regardless until it finishes. punc_all This is a list of all the punctuation speakup should speak when punc_level is set to four. punc_level Controls the level of punctuation spoken as the screen is displayed, not reviewed. Levels range from zero no punctuation, to four, all punctuation. As far as I can tell, one corresponds to punc_some, two corresponds to punc_most, and three as well as four seem to both correspond to punc_all, though I do stand to be corrected. I am using the soft synthesizer driver, so it is possible that some hardware synthesizers have different levels each corresponding to three and four for punc_level. Also note that if punc_level is set to zero, and key_echo is set to one, typed punctuation is still spoken as it is typed. punc_most This is a list of all the punctuation speakup should speak when punc_level is set to two. punc_some This is a list of all the punctuation speakup should speak when punc_level is set to one. reading_punc Almost the same as punc_level, the differences being that reading_punc controls the level of punctuation when reviewing the screen with speakup's screen review commands. The other difference is that reading_punc set to three speaks punc_all, and reading_punc set to four speaks all punctuation, including spaces. repeats a list of characters speakup repeats. Normally, when there are more than three characters in a row, speakup just reads three of those characters. For example, ".." would be read as dot, dot, dot. If a . is added to the list of characters in

If I understand right, this patch changes how synthesizers are loaded and unloaded through /sys/accessibility/speakup/synth, correct? If yes, then would for example verifying that echo bns >/sys/accessibility/speakup/synth echo soft >/sys/accessibility/speakup/synth does what it should be good enough of a test?

It's as if speakup can't make up its mind which synthesizer is being used. When I echo soft >/sys/accessibility/speakup/synth, I get no speech at all from either synthesizer. Doing rmmod of all three speakup modules comes back with no errors. There is also no unusual output in dmesg, I can see both synthesizers being registered and unregistered as I switch between them. I can also reproduce this behavior with speakup_soft, and speakup_dummy specifically: 1. modprobe speakup_soft and modprobe speakup_dummy 2. The synthesizer should now be set to dummy in /sys/accessibility/speakup/synth. 3. Use the speakup review keys, press enter a number of times. You should observe output from both the software speech, and from the serial port alternating between each other. 4. echo soft >/sys/accessibility/speakup/synth 5. You should observe no output from either software speech or the serial port as you use speakup review keys, or press enter repeatedly. 6. echo dummy >/sys/accessibility/speakup/synth 7. You should alternately get speech from the software synthesizer and from the serial port.
