This will start the screen reader right after ubuntu starts up. There is a great help site that outlines this much better then I am doing. Now that it is installed on my hard drive the screenreader starts automaticly. My login is not voiced. However the ubuntu startup sound clues me into when to enter my username and password. I will look for that site and post it later if I find it. Now I have a question. How do I initialize speakup in ubuntu when I am in a terminal session? I would like to use the festival software synth that should already be active, I think?.

Subject: Re: live Ubuntu cd with Orca Hi, Speakup is built into the kernel. I don't think there is a software speech howto, it just seems to be something you "ask your mates about" before you do it. I would like to ask a question: How do I get orca to start talking before I log in? I think the login manager is called GDM, but I'm not sure. ANyways, is it possible to have speech at the login prompt? Cheers, Chris Norman ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott Ford" To: "'Speakup is a screen review system for Linux.'"
