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 ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

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?

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. Chime ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
