List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Well, there are ways to use emacspeak with the same synth as speakup, but they are unsupported and what I would suggest is that you buy the $50 dectalk runtime for linux -- that will work with emacspeak and you can have both at once. Now I have found personally that speakup gives good feedback and at least with the cvs version emacspeak is not necessary, but that is a personal choice and you should play with it and see what you like. on Wednesday 09/24/2003 Guy Abandon.(text.tools@virgin.net) wrote > <> > > I get this one without being in an X-Windows environment and put it > down to lack of configuration either with a suitable speech engine > part or similar. > > > < newbies.>> > > I found that too, which is why I still don't use Emacspeak yet. > > I downloaded but didn't get to try the Oralux distro yet either which > is meant to boot and work right out of the box so to speak.
