I ran: modprobe speakup_soft espeakup And I got speech, but it does not echo my typing, nor can I find a way of reviewing what is on the screen. I am familiar with Orca, in Ubuntu, but this has me stumped. This is on an Asus ePc which runs XP okay, I don't remember if I upgraded the RAM to 1GB or 2GB, but either way, it should be enough. How do I control the speech better? Thanks ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kerry Hoath" To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux."

Boot the cd, wait for the beeps from the speaker, hit q to exit the quick config screen then key in modprobe speakup_soft espeakup You should get speech. Options to load into ram still exist on the cheatsheet as far as I can tell and you can still do ssh=password to get an ssh server running on the box. Regards, kerry.
