yasr related problem

[Krishnakant Ramesh Mane]

Hello Mr. Lorenzo,
yes, I got the flite and eflite packages and they are working 
fine.
I am trying to run yasr with the following command
yasr .
I don't know why but even after putting the following lines yasr 
doesn't give any output.
first I commented the line synthesizer = emacspeak server
and I added another line
synthesizer port =| the path to eflite.
I had the instructions in the help docs and I followed this 
installation.
what must be wrong?
does yasr require some parameters to be passed during startup?
Please let me know.


thanks.
Krishnakant.

Don't forget to preceed the path to eflite in 'synthesizer port' line
with a '|' (pipe) sign.

Hope it helps.

Did you comment out the line that says synthesizer=speakout?
It should read something like this:

#synthesizer=speakout
#synthesizer=a few more lines like this
synthesizer=emacspeak server
synthesizer port=|path to eflite

This should give the desired result just by using the yasr command with no
parameters.  Also, be sure you have .yasr.conf in your home directory.

Hello,
Well I think you got it right.  I think I forgot to put the conf 
file in the /home directory.
so you mean to say, the path to the yasr.conf file should be 
/home/yasr.conf is that you mean?  if yes then I will try it 
tomorrow in my lab.
well, can you do me a favour.  if you have a .conf file available 
with you that is working with eflite then please mail it to me.
thanks a lot.

Hello,

Please, someone, explain what yasr is and how it differs from speakup and 
brltty. What advantages does it have?

Thanks,
John

John,

Yasr currently only supports speech.  Aside from the user interface, it
differs from Speak-up mainly in that it is not kernel-based.  It has a
homepage at http://yasr.sf.net.

So, it needs the dreaded sighted assistance to install? What synth does it
use/support? Speakup rocks, but you lose access to use the num pad for
anything else.

yasr is a screen reader with a review mode capable of talking to several
hardware speech synthesizers and some sound cards.  It has two advantages
over speakup.  First, it's not a kernel patch.  Second, it wasn't written
with any Linux dependencies.  Those two advantages make it possible to
build and use yasr on other flavors of Unix systems beyond Linux.
