To: speakup
Hello -- I'm new to the list and am looking to get a new laptop on which i
want to run linux with speakup.
I am an experienced unix user, but switched to windows when my vision got to
the point where i could not read the screen with screen mag any longer, and
so i started using a windows screen reader.
However now i understand there are quite good screen readers for linux, of
which yasr, speakup, emacspeak and gnopernicus are recommended by various
people.
i want speakup as i want to administer my household linux box and so want
control of the console as early in the boot process as possible.
Ok, now after having read the blurbs on the speakup web pages, i have the
following questions:
I noticed one of the pages listed a project called Tuxtalk that was a
minimal software synth compiled in with speakup in the kernel to eliminate
the need for a hardware synth. However, the page was dated 2002 and the
project wasn't finished.
Since i don't have a hardware synth (yet anyway), is there currently a
version of speakup that runs without a hardware synth?
If so, what are the hardware requirements? i.e., sound card etc.
Also, i noticed speakup works with a bunch of hardwaare synths and also most
or all of the major linux implementations, but i couldn't find at first
glance whether i needed to comppile the kernel myself or whether there were
binaries available.
could someone point me to a place for newbie linux-speakup installers to
learn about hardware requirements and how to build and/or select and install
the right version of linux with speakup?
Can speakup with linux run well on a laptop?
Thanks for any info on these topics!
there is actually general interest among several people on another lisst --
and I have posted the address of this list for them to join if they want --
but if they don't id like to pass along any info I find out.
Thanks in advance and happy new year!

Laura, ol' buddy ol' pal o' mine, you're turning up in the oddest places, aren't you? Welcome to the insanity :) Someone else will have to address Speakup with a software synth (seems most people prefer the software DECTalk--I haven't tried to get this working), but it seems Bill Acker keeps the Fedora stuff more up-to-date than just about any of the others are. Your best bet for getting up and running PDQ is probably Fedora or Slackware, as both have Speakup readily and quickly available. Debian does, too, and that's what I'm using now, but you'll probably find the best documentation on Fedora with Janina's Speakup howto, whose URL is...uh...well, it's posted here somewhere (I don't have it right in front of me). I'm fixing to change my system from Debian unstable to Ubuntu (www.ubuntulinux.org). Not sure if they have Speakup, but I'm gonna see if I can help get Speakup in if'n it doesn't. -- Buddy Brannan, KB5ELV | Alena Grace's proud papa!

* Re: newbie question... newbie question Laura Eaves ` Buddy Brannan @ ` Steve Holmes ` Janina Sajka 2 siblings, 0 replies; 8+ messages in thread From: Steve Holmes @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: speakup -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Laura, Buddy addressed your questions concerning distributions; I personally like Slackware as it has a ready-made kernel containing a recent version of Speakup but as you should realize, to get optimal results on your system, an eventual recompile would be in order but at least this precompiled kernel should get you off to a good start. The Tuxtalk thinggy you mentioned is probably dead by now but there is a software speech solution now. It involves using Speech Dispatcher, a kinda driver that will talk to several popular software speech synths. Speechd-up connects Speakup to this software speech dispatcher and then there are several synths: Software Dectalk, Flite, and I believe Sepstral. Flite is free and Dectalk runs $50 and they do have a Linux run-time available. Sorry, I don't have the URL's at my finger tips right now but will try and find them later when I get home at which time I can push them up there if no-one else has done it yet. I should note that Hardware speech will give you access right from the first kernel messages where software won't begin talking till later after your principal file system has been checked and remounted. I use it on a laptop though and works well. I just use the hardware on the laptop when diagnosing problems.

Hi, Laura: The installation HOWTO for the Speakup Modified Fedora Distribution is at: http://www.linux-speakup.org/ftp/disks/fedora/HOWTO_INSTALL.html However, you will not be able to install with software speech. And, if you really want to admin your systems, I would highly advise you get a hardware speech synth. The reason is that it will work even when your system isn't working properly. Software speech, on the other hand, requires your system to boot, and all your sound configurations to be correct. I would look for a used synth on Ebay, or buy one of the currently available synths from Access Solutions. But, I would get a hardware synth. Am I repeating myself yet? <grin> Sorry about that.

Both of the Access Solutions speech synths, their DEC Talk and their Tripletalk, can talk to a USB port. However, Speakup does not yet support USB port synths. More to the point, we do not yet have a standards based mechanism whereby a usb serial device can by used during bios, boot loader, and initial kernel boot stages. I think we need such a standard--but that's another story. Suffice it to say that usb mice and keyboards are supported like that, so why not output devices?
