[John G. Heim]

All,

I've uploaded some patched debian kernels to the IAVIT web site.These 
kernels include my fix for the speakup serial hardware speech bug.  For 
instructions, point a browser to http://www.iavit.org/~john/debian/.

Speakup available? (wasRE: patched debian kernels)

[Albert Sten-Clanton]

First, thanks to John for the kernel patch.  Whether I get to use it or not,
I do appreciate it.

Second, I tried this week to use both the Debian live CD (7.2, I think) and
the 32-64-bit install CD, 7.3 if I remember right.  As I understand the
installation guide, I should be able to get speakup, at least on the latter,
by typing the letter s at the boot prompt and hitting ENTER.  It didn't
work.  I tried arrowing to the right option, but that also failed.  I tried
lower and upper case.  I tried with both the live CD and the net-installer
one.  

Also, when I allowed the live CD to boot up, I could not get Orca -- at
least, I didn't hear it.  I could reboot or shut down after going to a
console terminal, so I figure the CD is probably working right, but without
speech there didn't seem to be much else useful I could do.

Can anybody tell me what might be going wrong, or what I might be doing
wrong?  If it's a case of muted sound, how would I fix that?  (The usual
amixer command that I use to raise the volume did nothing.) I've so far
found no help with this through Google searches, even though I know there
has been some correspondence about Weezy and Speakup.

I'm using a 64-bit machine.

Thanks for any guidance.

Yes, this is correct. With either 32-bit or 64-bit wheezy netinst iso,
you boot up, wait a few seconds, hit lower case s, enter, and you
should get software speech. I don't recall, but I do think you even
get a beep through your pc speaker when it's time to type s and enter,
but I could be wrong there.

I'm not sure if the netinst disk has amixer on it. When speech comes
up on that iso, you're in the first console, which is the
installer. If you want to try various commands to see if they do
anything, hit alt+right-arrow to go to the second console, and press
enter to activate that console. Once you do that, you'll be at a
busybox shell prompt.

Greg, thanks for the tip on access to the consoles.  You're right about the
second beedp, at least that I get one.

I think I tried control-s and it didn't work.  I believe that's for bringing

RE: Speakup available? (wasRE: patched debian kernels)

[Pawel Loba]

Hi,
Have you got any linux distro working on this system with speech before?
This is rather strange that your Debian 7.X net installation doesn't kick in
after pressing the letter S and enter unless your sound card is not
recognized.
You need to wait for a beep sound to press letter s though.
Hth,
Pawel.

Hello.

I'm using Fedora 20 with speech.  I'm thinking of switching distros, and
Debian's one I'm considering.   

Yes, not getting speech seems strange.  I had the same trouble a few months
ago.  On my old machine, I did get Speakup when doing the right thing at the
prompt.  I do get Speakup when booting up the Arch CD.

I assume you too have no usable sight so when your Debian 7.x net

Yes, quite blind and no Braille display.  I'll try arrowing down 7 times, as
this is 64-bit, but I thought hitting the lowercase s would get me to the
right point.  I'll also try to find out anything using Greg's info.

Does the live DVD also have Speakup?  My impression from the installation
guide is that it does, but, as noted before, I could get neither Speakup nor
Orca talking.

As far as I was told by sighted person pressing letter s put you on 32-bit
version of Debian installer assuming that you downloaded multi-architecture
iso image from Debian's website that's why you need to press the down arrow
one more time to position yourself on 64-bit release.

"I assume you too have no usable sight so when your Debian 7.x net

down arrow 6 time for 32-bit or 7 times for 64-bit installation with speech.
See if this works for you. I assume you don't have any Braille display to

I had tried pressing s twice.  Today I did the 7 down-arrows and got the
same non-golden silence.  I think I'll burn me some new media, and maybe try
to get some sighted help.    At any rate, thanks for your suggestions.

The installation guide does not document the live images.

Hello,

See https://wiki.debian.org/accessibility and
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch05s02.html

See notably the "If speech synthesis does not come up" part of the
wiki...

Why CD image did you take, exactly, BTW?

It does.  That goes along software speech synthesis support.
