Hello,
I am considering making the speakup connector for ibmtts available as an 
AUR package for archlinux. Normally the AUR PKGBUILD scripts refer to a 
web location of the source code, however the ttsynth website 
(http://ttsynth.com) is no longer available. Is there any other web 
location for the source of the speakup connector? If not, I do have a 
local copy here, could it be added to the speakup ftp server?

Hi,

I'm very interested in your idea. Here's where I downloaded the source:
http://www.speakupmodified.org/ttsynth (thanks to William Hubbs who gave
me this url).

Can you tell me how you use the code? I had to change it: changing the
Makefile to adjust to my multilib system, but even C code to allow to
choose rate and pitch with 2 numbers as arguments running the connector
instead of changing source code itself. But now I still have one
problem: how can I set the synthetiser language via the connector? So
far it chooses the language according criterias I don't know, English is
installed, French if installed alone, another if French is installed
with another language. I use voxin exactly. Are you interested in
helping me solving this? I don't know to develop at all, I changed the
code with a friend. But I can test.

Waiting for your answer,

Regards,

Jean-Philippe MENGUAL

Hi,
I got it working now. Very nice!
But I want to save my pitch and speed settings, is it possible to do that in some way?
I am not a developer myself, but I have managed to get this automatically started with a startup script which I modified.

Hi,

As I explained I changed the code in order to allow to supply these
parameters on commandline running the connector, so in a bootscript for
example. If you're interested in my changed code, why not I can give you
(code changed by a friend). But if someone could improve it, it would be
great.

Hi,
You should look into speakupconf for saving your settings.  Call it from
/etc/rc.local, or your distribution's equivalent.  That way, it will be 
used whenever you reboot.
If you can, call it at shutdown to save the settings as well, so it will
automatically save and load upon startup.
Hope this helps,
Zack.

Hello,
Thanks for the link.

I didn't find I needed to alter the source code to get it to compile on 
my system (a 32-bit system, fairly standard archlinux setup IE. I've not 
adjusted the default base packages).

As for the pitch thing, isn't that what speakup conf is for?

As for the language thing, its not cropped up for me as I only use UK 
English but its something which I think should be sorted if not possible.

I am sorry but I am not a C programmer so modifying the source code is 
difficult for me, but if anyone has patches or made a new version 
addressing some of the issues mentioned I will look at adding them to an 
AUR package.

Mine is multilib, that's why I had to.

Yes normally. But doesn't seem to work for me. At the same time I see I've a problem with my speakup key: where's it? I use Insert (in the block Insert, pgup pgdn supp Home End), is it here? If it is not, where is it on keypad? If it is, in my terminal, I can't combine 2 keys: when I do it, Insert is ont recogniued (either it generates a [[2~ sign, either, if I do ins+t, I get a t written on screen). So ins+3 of keypad acts as 3 key alone. How can I do?

At the same time I see I've a
problem with my speakup key: where's it? I use Insert (in the block 
Insert,
pgup pgdn supp Home End), is it here? If it is not, where is it on keypad?
On the numeric keypad, left-bottom key on the numpad.  Also the key 
between alt and control on the left side of the keyboard is a speakup key.

Hi,

Ok thanks it's perfect. Now I understand better. Indeej not need to
change code :)

Now only a very important problem stay: 1. changing language or at least
choose language; 2. in French with iso environment, it doesn't read
accents. Caused by connector? speakup itself?

Thanks for help,


Jean-Philippe MENGUAL

I am not using speakup connecter myself, but at home i do use espeakup 
which is based on that code.  What I have done there is to killall 
espeakup&&sleep 1&&espeakup -Vaf
to get afrikaans and the same but with -Ven to get back to English.  as 
espeakup is based on the same code, one might look for tips to change the 
source of connecter to accept a language parameter.  The latest versions 
of speakup has, as I think you know, better support for more than one 
language, so if that is set correctly one can get it to talk in the 
language of your choice.  The accents seem to have some thing to do with 
the LANG variable's setting, but I also want to get that working although 
it would be for use with either espeakup or speech-dispatcher/opentts.
What I know, is that speakup would handle the accented characters that 
fall below ascii 256, IE, not unicode.

If it is not, where is it on keypad? If it is, in my terminal, I can't combine 2 keys: when I do it, Insert is ont recogniued (either it generates a [[2~ sign, either, if I do ins+t, I get a t written on screen). So ins+3 of keypad acts as 3 key alone. How can I do?

Hi, Michael:

I've just added all the publically available TTSynth files at:

http://speakupmodified.org/


Or, more directly:
http://SpeakupModified.Org/ttsynth

Or, via rsync:
rsync -l speakupmodified.org::speakupmodified/ttsynth/
