What does your tts file say right now?  The text of that is really required to answer this question accurately.

Hi guys. I'm having a problem getting my doubletalk lt and screader to
work. Here's what I know.
In order for the doubltalk to speek the text that is sent to it, it needs
to have a "null" character sent to it. Well, with screader I don't think
it sends the required null character so it gets ignored. Does anyone know
how I can get this to work? I followed the installation instructions that
came with screader. It's just that the lt doesn't respond.

Hello Jim,

Screader supports all applications that read from standard input. 
To let hardware synths work, just put somthing like 

   `cat > /dev/cua0`
   
in the tts-file.

There is a homepage where you can find more about screader. See:

    http://www.inter.nl.net/users/jlemmens

      Regards,

          Jos.

Put something like the following in your /opt/etc/abt320/tts:

   (cat; echo -ne "\000") > /dev/cua1

If the null-character has to be in the front of the text, please
put first the echo command and then the cat command. Be sure these
commands need to be inside the () and must be separated by the ; token.
I've no DT myself so I don't know exactly where to put the ( and )
tokens. Maybe you have to put a \ before the " tokens.

      Regards,

           Jos.

Well, if your tts says 
`cat >/dev/cua0`
you might try something like 
`(cat ;echo -e \00 ) >/dev/cua0`
or if a space is required rather than a null just say echo " "
instead.

Hope this helps.

Um, no, all the documentation refers to is that the screader program uses
either a braille terminal, text to speech synthisyser or festible witch is
soposed to be a software one that works with your sound blasters.

Re: lt and screader.

[Jim Stevenson]

What synths does screader support?

Is there an ftp site to find answers to such questions?

Thanks.
