Speakup and Emacs-Speak

Speakup and Emacs-Speak

[Scott Howell]

Folks, I'm interested in setting up Emacs-Speak on my Debian system.  
I believe in the past there was some configuring that needed to be  
done so Speakup and Emacs-Speak would play nice together. Is this  
still the case and what synth software/hardware does Emacs-Speak use  
by default?

tnx
Ps. If there's some info I can rtfm, please advise. tnx
Scott

I believe the modifications you're thinking of were necessary back
when speakup wasn't modularized. These days you should simply be able
to echo none >/proc/speakup/synth_name, and start up emacspeak.

I've not actually tried this on the Debian stable system I am playing with 
here, but generally, there's a bit of setting up to do: in version 23 of 
emacspeak, which is the newest one, they recommend you obtain a copy of 
Linux Out Loud, from a website that appears not to exist anymore.
I think there is a way to get it to use an external synth though.
There are howtos on ldp, but they seem to be older.
emacspeak.sourceforge.net
has a nice installation manual.

the second alternative is speakup and speechd-el. speechd-el you can find
on http://www.freebsoft.org the latest cvs version has own braille
support through brlapi, so you can use emacs in X window with braille
and speech output. Of course for speechd-el you need speech dispatcher.

Have you nice day
