doubletalk works with screader.

["Chris Peterson" <chrisp@citilink.com>]

After a little playing around this afternoon, I've come up with a tts entry
for screader that works with the Doubletalk PC.  I have no reason to believe
that it won't work with the DTLT but someone will have to try it and see.
Anyway, here's what I did.

I created a shell script called "dt-speak" which consists of one line which
is as fallows:
echo -e "\r`cat`\r" > /dev/dtlk

The only reason I did that was because I wasn't sure of what I was doing and
I wanted to come up with something that worked every time and that line was
it.  Anyway, I put the fallowing line in /opt/etc/abt320/tts
`dt-speak`

Screader works although it's not as responsive as I'd like it to be but oh
well...  It works.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that I should just be able to
replace the script business with a line that says
`echo -e "\r`cat`\r" > /dev/dtlk`
in /opt/etc/abt320/tts and it should work.

I have grand visions of being able to change synthesizer settings with my
shell script at some point, though, so I believe I'll stick with what I've
got.  Anyway, I know some people have been wanting to make this work so
there's a sort of solution.
