There is also a speakup connector available on the ttsynth page. This allows you to run voxin or ttsynth with speakup without speech-dispatcher. The only problem I've found with the ttsynth speakup connector is that it doesn't create a pid file so that it can't be stopped with a standard init script. I'm working on a patch for this. I actually prefer the speakup connector because you get notified of capital letters with pitch change. Not having a pitch change option for caps is a shortcoming of speech-dispatcher. Although voxin is designed for Debian based distros, I've gotten it to work on arch linux. > Note: Maybe the Emacspeak-server works as well; I remember having seen > something in the install script. > Hermann > _______________________________________________ > Speakup mailing list > Speakup@braille.uwo.ca > http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup Chris
