Hi. Forgot, you set the default language for espeakup by editing /etc/default/espeakup. Before espeakup, software speech was handled by speech-dispatcher and an app called speechd-up. The speech-dispatcher developers are hostile to speakup use so speechd-up is no longer maintained. In it's curr

Hi, I had not really understood module was built directly in the kernel. I have it :) Very very cool Debian. I'll load it. I'll try espeakup but I'd like to try voxin too: I read that was linked to speech-dispatcher, don't understand the relationship between speech-dispatcher and speakup. Is ther

Hi. No, you would add speakup_soft to /etc/modules You will need to install the espeakup package as well. This will cause the system to boot up with software speech. You will need to press keypad enter when speech starts if your system boots to a gdm login. If you don't, you will end up with a

Hi, Thanks for these very good explanations which help me understand better things, as reading user guide online didn't help me about this. In my case, as for many users I think, I don't have any hardware synthetiser. So I have to use a soft solution. Not too problematic if it starts after cfdisk.

Hi. The idea is to get access to the system as early as possible during boot. To do this, speakup is a set of kernel modules. Since software speech is a recent addition, and speakup is active before audio has been configured, most users use a hardware synth for early access. In this context, d

Hi. Have you visited linux-speakup.org? That is the official web site for speakup. Most of your questions should be answered there. Kenny On Tue, Aug 24, 2010 at 04:08:24AM +0200, Jean-Philippe MENGUAL wrote: > Hi Sam, > > As you know I attend to promote linux as accessibility tool.

Hi Sam, As you know I attend to promote linux as accessibility tool. That's why I try some solutions, even these I don't use myself daily (speech in particular). That's also why I tried gnome-orca 2.30 even if I had to install testing package on my stable (Gnome 2.22) and I suspect it causes issue

[Please include debian-kernel or me in replies; I'm not subscribed to -accessibility.] I haven't seen any bug reports regarding speakup drivers included in the Linux 2.6.32 kernel packages or testing versions of the installer. However I haven't seen any positive reports either. Are they working p
