Voxin questions

Voxin questions

[Jayson Smith]

Hi,


I just installed Debian 9.7 on a new system, and got it talking with 
Espeakup. I'm seriously considering the purchase of Voxyn since I cannot 
stand Espeak. I have a few questions.


1. Does Voxyn contain any DRM? Please note that I am in no way intending 
to do anything illegal, I just want to know what I'm getting into. The 
license says it can only be used on one machine, is this enforced? In 
other words, if I need to reinstall Linux for any reason, do I need to 
do something to free up my license, pray at the temple of the 
authorization gods and hope they grant me another license, buy a second 
copy of Voxin at full price, or none of these?


2. Is install as simple as it seems? From what I gather, you just buy 
Voxyn, download it, unpack it, install it, then install Voxynup, and 
you're good to go? Any possible complications to be aware of? This is a 
64-bit system by the way.


Thanks,


Jayson

I use it on any and all of my own installations with just the one purchase.

Well Jayson, I would say its somewhat complicated, depending how you answer its 
installation questions. 1 concern I had was Speakup was reading the previous 
line, along with the current, after arrowing down. Gilles said he would put that 
in the to do list.

Hi,

Thanks for your responses. I purchased and installed it, and now I have 
some more questions.

It starts up very slow, and I want it a lot faster, but Speakup's rate 
change commands don't seem to be working. Furthermore, after issuing two 
such commands, it stops talking, and I haven't figured out a way to get 
it back short of rebooting. Is there a way to specify speech parameters 
(voice, pitch, rate) which will be used by default? If it stops talking, 
is there a way to get it going again without rebooting?

During installation, it asked if I wanted to use it with Speech 
Dispatcher in Orca. I said yes, even though I don't have any desktop 
environment installed (although I might play with one at some point)! Is 
that okay?

Thanks,

Jayson

OK Jayson: I would say no to orca, also, I think
sudo voxinup
should get you going
