Unless you are using gnome, you don't need pulseaudio, if this is the case maybe I can help, as this is what I have. Now I use hardware speech, but I have used software speech before, using speechd-up and speech-dispatcher. Mark Peveto wrote: > I'm trying to configure something, I really don't

hi Hmm. I think I get it now. So for bluetooth, you need to know the bluetooth address. Can you not simply select the bluetooth device in, say, gnome's bluetooth settings or in mate's and brltty will pick up on it? No rich uncles sadly. I'm not sure if I can get a government agency to buy me anythi

hi Got it. So using the default of "auto" will use the first braille display connected, whether it's usb, bluetooth or serial? Sorry for my ignorance, I've never used a braille display with brltty and would like to eventually get one to test with. Thanks Kendell Clark Dave Mielke wrote: > [quoted

hi I don't mind helping you in the slightest. My main problem is that every time I think I have it, something messes up and I have to go back to the drawing board. I'm determined to fix this if at all possible. Brltty is a fantastic software project and it needs more attention from the open source

I'm trying to configure something, I really don't care what, but something as a console screen reader. Espeakup and other things seem to conflict with pulseaudio, and gives me errors. Ditching pulseaudio hasn't worked out for me, so it's my understanding that brltty is a solution. I'm just try

Why are you trying to do that? There are better alternatives, such as speakup, or if you like emacs emacspeak. Mark Peveto wrote: > I get that. I'm heavily involved in my church as well. But to answer your > question, I'm not using a braille display. I want to use brltty as a speech > screen
