Hi Kenny. Thanks I will try that next time I have to switch the synth to a
different machine. How long does it usually take for Speakup to determine that
there is no synth there? I haven't checked on this yet, but I am guessing there
is a for loop with I as the control variable, that is accepting review keys.
Then an if(i>x) where x is number of keystrokes before Speakup determines there
is no synth plugged in. I believe I have it somewhat right, but clearly I have
no clearer picture as I have not read the entire source.

Hi. I usually wait 30 seconds or longer betweene the time I press review
keys and turning the synth on. You will know if you get it. If it
doesn't work turn the synth back off and try again.

Hi Kirk. It does not say re-initialized. However, when I plug it back into the
machine and press some review keys, I can see the connection between
machine/synth is resynchronized. However yes, it does pause for a very long
time between punctuation. I think this has to do with Speakup setting a
punctuation pause when the driver initializes the synth? I will try Kenny's
suggestion and see if that works.

Hi all. Numerous times I have had to switch my Dectalk to a different
machine. Then once I replug it back in, everything seems to speak ok.
However, when I do an ls, I get extremely long pauses between
filename/extention. For example, instead of getting file.foo, I would get
something like: file........foo. Does this have to do with the serial line
to the Dectalk not handshaking properly? And the only way I can think to
solve this problem is to reboot the machine. Does anyone have any other
sollutions? Thanks!
May you code in the power of the source,
may the kernel, libraries, and utilities be with you,
throughout all distributions until the end of the epoch.

You're problem is slightly better than mine. I use a transport, and when
I turn the transport off, if I turn speakup back on before turning on the
transport, then I can do nothing to get speakup to talk again, and a
reboot is the only way to solve the problem. if anyone has a solution to
this, I would certainly appreciate it.

Do you actually cycle the DECTalk power during this?
Have you tried rerunning the appropriate setserial after the
re-attachment?

Hi. When you plug the deqtalk back into the computer you need to get
speakup to reset the synth. After you plug the synth back up but before
you turn it on you need to press several speakup review keys and wait a
minute. Pressing the review keys makes sure speakup knows there is no
synth.
After you make sure speakup knows the synth is gone, you can turn it on
and press insert-enter. You should hear speakup re-initilize the synth.
Your rate pitch voice and tone will be back to the default when speakup
first booted, so you will need to reset them.
Hope this helps.
Kenny
