Actually I'm a read only user for many reasons, and one is that I got a surplus of mail everyday, so can't read that much and answer. I have an interesting situation where a friend of mine has got Apollo 2 synthesizer and would like lo learn using Linux, while she already accesses Unix Boxes through the unconvenient use of OutSpoken telnetting to Unix from a windoze machine naturally (bleargh). My problems have been, basically, the total unfriendliness to me of emacspeak and its lack of stability, but it may depend from my fault, I just used it for few hours, so I may be in fault. Actually I'm trying to use the good enought screader to improve it but, before doing it, I would like to know if somebody already has used Apollo 2 with it successfully, where successfully means that he can stop voice from speaking wherever he is, increase voice speed and pitch etc... etc... If not, how many of you may be interested in using it to help me in testing? I already got a tester near (?) home, and she will surely help me in it, but would like to have more help.
