* killing speech from cli @ Daniel Dalton ` Zachary Kline ` Gaijin 0 siblings, 2 replies; 13+ messages in thread From: Daniel Dalton @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: Speakup Hi, Is there a command line argument or something I can echo to speakup to kill speech? And is there one to echo to get speakup back up talking again? I'm using software speech with speechd. I'm wanting a command to turn speech on and off so I can call this from within a script. Thanks, Danny ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 13+ messages in thread

Hi Danny, I'm not a speakup developer, so one of them should feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. However, in the version of speakup I have, 3.0.3, there isn't a way to do this from the CLI. The only way I'm aware of is to use the keyboard command to kill speakup--think it's the "print screen" key? I've just been looking around the /sys/modules/speakup/parameters directory and not found anything obvious. Hope this helps, Zack. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Daniel Dalton" <d.dalton@iinet.net.au> To: "Speakup" <Speakup@braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Friday, November 21, 2008 6:59 PM Subject: killing speech from cli > Hi, > > Is there a command line argument or something I can echo to speakup to > kill speech?

I wish there was one as well. It would make speech interupts in my mud client alot easier. At the moment I have to sent a control code to my doubletalk while it's speaking which doesn't always work if speakup is still sending text to it.

I thought you could echo none or your synth name to the synth file in the sys file system, however, I can kill speech, but can't get it back... I'll have to try the latest speakup out of guit when I get time and see if I can do it with this...

I'll have to try the latest speakup out of guit Yes, you can change synths by echoing the name to /sys/module/speakup/parameters/synth Echoing a value of none will stop speech. You also need to kill speechd-up before changing synths. This applies to espeakup too. You probably don't have speech after changing synth from none to soft, because your old daemon is running. It's reading from a file descriptor which became invalid as soon as you changed synth from soft to none. That's just a wild guess on my part. -- Chris ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 13+ messages in thread

Daniel, They are in the extras directory of the speakup directory created by git. Also on my web site. There are two of them: speakwith works with speech-dispatcher, talkwith works with espeakup.

And is there one to echo to get speakup back up talking While I haven't tried it myself, I would assume rmmod and instmod would work to unload and reload the module, if it's the loadable type. Maybe something like: #!/bin/sh rmmod (your-speakup-module echo "SpeakUP has been unloaded." instmod <your-speakup-module> echo "SpeakUP module has been loaded." ...to test this out.
