At the time the Dectalk Pc synths are not supported by speakup, but that
doesn't mean a few of us haven't been trying hard to make one.
So far my attempts haven't been to successful.

Aaron

Yes, it's still highly active, and making great strides.

Were you one of the guys involved with Vortal, back in the day?  Your name
rings that particular bell.

Hello everyone.  I hope that this is still an active project and list.  As 
you probably saw from the from line, my name is Aaron Cannon.  I just 
recently finished downloading the slackware isos from bittorrent, and am

Re: introduction

Wrong, Igor. Very wrong.

The information about synths is very clearly available on the
Speakup web site. This kind of post shouldn't be happening.

Besides, this is not an example of thinking. Thinking has nothing
to do with what you said. If you were thinking about it, you
would check your facts.

Re: introduction

Wrong!  Don't give out bad information if you are not sure.  My motto
is, and it's very simple: Why be helpful if you're not?

The Dectalk PC is not currently supported by speakup.

Re: introduction

[Octavian Rasnita]

Do you know if I can use speakup with a Dec Talk PC 1 internal  sinth?
I have Red Hat 7.2.
I find emacspeak hard to use and I use my Linux machine  with a Windows
terminal (SecureCRT) from another computer.

Thank you.

Hi. You need to have a hardware synth to use speakup.  If you want a
recomendation for a linux distribution, I would recomend Slackware
http://www.slackware.com or Debian http://www.debian.org>.  There is a MP3
file on the speakup ftp server which will help you install debian, located
at ftp://linux-speakup.org/pub/linux/goodies/audio-files/ and the files are
named debinstall_1.mp3 and debinstall_2.mp3 I think.

Hi:

One place to start learning is the Speakup Modified Red Hat
Distribution HOWTO on Installation which is at:


http://www.linux-speakup.org/ftp/disks/redhat/HOWTO_INSTALL.html

But, you've already taken the most important step by joining this
list. Sit back and learn at your liesure. This is the place you
need to be.

[Cris Ali]

Hello folks,
My name is Cris Ali from Washington DC.  This is my first time on this list.
I heard so much about Linux and speakup and hope to get some help on giving
it a try.  I am not a computer savvy, but if I am given clearn instruction I
am sure I would be able to learn at least the basics.  I never used neither
linux nor speakup, and have no idea where and how to start without sighted
assistance.  I am also not sure if I would need a special hardware
synthesizer, or whether I can use the built in sound card of my pc.  I am
hoping to be able to convert my retired 90 mhz pentium 1 into a linux box.
Any ideas would be extremely appreciated.  Again, I have no sighted
assistance.
Warm Regards,
cris ali filastin48@hotmail.com.
