* Speakup available? (wasRE: patched debian kernels) patched debian kernels John G. Heim @ ` Albert Sten-Clanton ` Glenn ` (2 more replies) 0 siblings, 3 replies; 15+ messages in thread From: Albert Sten-Clanton @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: 'Speakup is a screen review system for Linux.' 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.

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. > If it's a case of muted sound, how would I fix that?

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.

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...
