Re: Kubuntu problems

["Chris Norman" <cnorman@rnibncw.ac.uk>]

Sorry, I forgot to mention, that I also put my start-speakup script in 
/etc/rc.local.

I took the numbers for the rate, punc_level and reading_punc values from the 
command line ($1, $2, and $3). An example of this is:

cd /proc/speakup
echo "$1" > rate

I envoce start-speakup like this:

start-speakup 9 4 4

Where 9 is the rate, and 4 and 4 are the values for punc_level and 
reading_punc respectively. If you want me to post this script I will, not a 
problem.

Take care,

Chris Norman
