For speech, it supports Alva, BrailleLite and CombiBraille. For braille, it supports a very long list, which can be seen on the brltty web site: http://mielke.cc/brltty/doc/README.txt > I understood that speech support was preliminary and it didn't have > all of the features you would expect from a screen reader using > speech. Speech is relatively basic, yes. > I understood that it is primarily for Braille. Yes. > I assumed that was obvious because this is the Speakup list. Ok :) > Does it support software speech? It doesn't have internal support for software speech, and so on DOS it doesn't support speech (that would require sound drivers, etc.) > What about the DEC-talk express? It doesn't support it. > The original comment was about adding software speech synth support to > an open source screen reader. Dave Mielke would sure be glad to add more hardware support to brltty.
