Re: Is speakup no longer included in grml releases?

["Glenn" <GlennErvin@cableone.net>]

Hi Kerry,
I tried these, as they sound like the same as Orca, but nothing came out 
when navigating with those keys.
It must be that I did all on the same line to call up espeak.

obviously modprobe speakup_soft
and
espeakup
are 2 separate commands you run after hitting q to exit the grml
quickstart wizard.

Once speech is loaded you can use the speakup review commands to get
around the screen. to get keyboard echo you echo 1
 >/sys/accessibility/speakup/key_echo or similar it is in there somewhere.

to move by lines use capslock u i o, words are j k l and characters m ,
and .

capslock and the numbers do volume, pitch and speed.
There is a help key can't remember what it is but there is documentation
on linux-speakup.org somewhere with all the key bindings.

Regards, Kerry.
