I'm makin' some progress here. I got the alsa working and can now here some sound through my speakers. I've read up on the speech dispatcher and speech-dup instructions, but am confused on one thing. I downloaded my latest speakup kernel from the octothorp server, but how do I know if it has software synthesis built into it? If not, how do I go about recompiling it to include this module? Do I need to go get the source RPM or something? I'm running Fedora core 3 with 2.6.12-1381 as my kernel version. Again, thanks much in advance.

* new guy, I have a few questions. makin' progress Guy Schlosser @ ` Scott Ford ` Guy Schlosser 0 siblings, 1 reply; 4+ messages in thread From: Scott Ford @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: 'Speakup is a screen review system for Linux.' Hello yall, I have used Linux over the years on and off. I have always wanted to either keep a version that is easy to maintain, and have a software synthesizer that works out of the box. I had a friend turn me onto one, it is called grml. Now I would like to see if I could find the IBM via voice and see if I could get that working. I am not real strong in the command line world though. My questions are. Could someone tell me where I could obtain the IBM via voice engine? Next is speak up solely for the command line, or will it work with x window manager? Scott -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

Hey there Scott, not sure where to get Viavoice for Linux currently, but I do know that there is an awesome utility that connects it with Speakup, if we can get our hands on an installable package for viavoice. As far as speakup's abilities, it is a console (command line) screen reader, but there is Orca that works with the Gnome desktop under X-Windows. I'm trying now to get my Gnome updated, because I'm impatient, want to play with Orca and don't want to wait another month for Fedora Core 6. At any rate, I hope that helps and good luck with Linux.

HI, over the past three days ive been playing with orca. This is on a Ubuntu edgy knot3 release system. I have noticed that Orca is a bit unresponsive but that's to do with flight issues not orca itself, some applications freeze the speech and I have to restart to get it back, for example: The synaptic utility. Don't be to excited about orca, there's a long way to go, don't get me wrong its a huge giant step sinse Gnopernicus but its nothing like speakup or anything on windows.
