Re: USB to Serial

[Michael Whapples <mikster4@msn.com>]

As I understand it, when those previous messages were saying "it should
be possible" to get speakup working with a USB serial port convertor,
the meaning was that it is technically possible for speakup to be
modified to do that, but not that speakup can do it with the code as is.

You probably can (I would expect) that you could use the external synth
with one of the other linux screen readers (eg. those which use
emacspeak speech servers (orca can, but only some of the drivers, to my
disappointment), and of course emacspeak. I don't know about yasr and
screader.).
