How do I set that up so that if I do the grml2hd install so I use speak instead of flite? Thanks much... cheereo! -- Email services by FreedomBox.

Hi, you must set up Espeak as the default synth. To do this, check out the following files: /etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf /etc&speech-dispatcher/modules/espeak-generic.conf When you install grml to your harddrive, make sure you've carefully read all the questions put during the procedure. One of it deals with the fact whether you want to start your system using assistive applications. There's a grml mailinglist, for details see the grml site.

Hiya,
I've downloaded GRML 1.0, and burned it successfully to a CD. The ISO image checksums match up alright, but for some reason the grml swspeak option doesn't seem to work.
Has this feature changed in 1.0? Is it a different keyword?
Thanks,
Zack.

Hi, swspeak does work excellent under grml 1.0. Did you type the word when the CD stops the first time? If not, it is not available. Which synth do you use? If you want a synth other then flite, which is standard on the CD, you must set it up manually. Note: The grml team included espeak into the package, and in English it works well, although there are some problems with other languages (I informed the team).

I found that I had to wait several seconds after typing "grml swspeak" to press enter; otherwise, I got no speech. I also found that the speech went character by boring character as it read text that came onto the screen: I had to use speakup's reading commands to get the reading right. Can you tell me where the info is on setting up another synth manually? I'd like to try something other than flite. Thanks!

Hope this still goes with this subject. I tried running the newest grml earlier today, 1.0 in vmware and had a very odd thing happen. I did get speach, but, it was studdering really bad and had lowd pops at the start of every word so I could bearly understand anything it was saying. This happend two times, when I typed grml swspeak at the boot prompt, it took about 10 seconds, and I got some speach, but, I could not understand anything it said, and, then, after it finished booting, I typed swspeak as it says to do in the cheat codes for grml and I once again had speach. I could not understand this either. As I said, it has some very lowd hissing pops that almost completely cover the speach, so, very hard to understand anything. I also noticed that in the cheat code notes, it said something about a vmware code that I could use at the prompt, but, I did not understand how to use it. I have not had any problems getting any other distro to boot with speach, such as ubuntu using orca, orilux, debian using speakup and my doubletalk lt, etc. So, maybe I am just doing something wrong, or, it's something with grml itself? If someone can give me some idea of what to do to fix it, or, point me to something to read, I would be greatful. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 10+ messages in thread
