getting speakup running on kali linux

getting speakup running on kali linux

[Don Raikes]

Hello List:

 

I am working on a custom build of kali linux (a debian derrative designed for security testing). I have gnome and orca already working so I was wondering if there are any instructions on how to get speakup working so that I can use speakup when I switch to a console window and orca when I use gnome?

 

I am pretty sure I remember that something has to be done with speech-dispatcher but I am not sure how to configure speech-dispatcher.

 

Any tips would be appreciated.

Actually, no.  All you have to do is to use the leafpad and add the line

speakup_soft

to the end of /etc/modules.  I have one running over here and it works perfectly.  They still use gnome 3.4 which will soon be 6 releases out of date.  If they kept up their version of gnome and orca, that would be a good primary system.



Hope this helps.

Hi,
You should just configure speech-dispatcher in ~/.conf or in
/etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf
to use libao, pulse or alsa.
As long as yuou have the sound set up correctly it should work.
You may have some problems with pulse and orca. But if you launch espeakup
in your current x session with sudo espeakup it should work if your using
pulse.
