* Re: specifying a synthe at the boot prompt ` Tommy Moore @ ` Chris Nestrud ` Pete De Vasto 0 siblings, 1 reply; 8+ messages in thread From: Chris Nestrud @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: speakup I looked at speakup.c, and here's what should be a complete list of supported synthesizers and their ID's. It might help someone looking through the archives later. The option is speakup_synth=ID where ID is listed below. You can also use speakup_ser=number where number corresponds to the serial port your synthesizer is connected to; 0 for com1 in dos, 1 for com2, 2 for com3, and 3 for com4. If this number isn't specified, speakup will probe these ports looking for the synthesizer. Accent PC: acntpc Accent SA: acntsa Apolo: apolo Audapter: audptr Braille 'n Speak, and other such Blazie products: bns DecTalk External (older model): decext DecTalk PC (newer model): dectlk DoubleTalk PC (internal): dtlk LiteTalk/DoubleTalk LT (external): ltlk Speakout: spkout Transport: txprt This list is current as of speakup version 0.10.

* Re: specifying a synthe at the boot prompt ` Chris Nestrud @ ` Pete De Vasto ` John Covici 0 siblings, 1 reply; 8+ messages in thread From: Pete De Vasto @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: speakup Hi again: Taking this one step further, from kind of a newbie who realizes this must have been asked before.. I started out wiht an Accent SA synthesizer, now I'd rather use my DoubleTalk LT, so I went to /etc/lilo.conf and modified the last line to read: append="speakup_synth=ltlk" Now, when I reboot, the DoubleTalk LT does come up talking, but the very first words I hear from it are that it found an Accent-SA synth, and if I go to /proc/speakup to try and tweak settings like rate, volume and the like, they don't seem to have any effect. Is lilo.conf really the file I need to modify here, or is there something else. By the way, this is RedHat 7 we're working with. Thanks for all the help.
