Hi...
I am using Ubuntu and wanted to try using Speakup. Could someone tell me if there is Documentation available for how to install Speakup for Ubuntu and where to find the documentation. Thanks.

I've never found any good documentation for this;
Ubuntu  uses a custom kernel and especially with newer speakup you have to 
get the kernel source, get speakup from git and patch it in.
I must say  the speakup .debs for debian although dated saved me a lot of 
time.
Regards, Kerry.

You can have my 2.6.23 speakup debian kernel if you like.

`apt-get install kernel-patch kernel-patch-speakup speech-dispatcher
speechd-up`. That should do the trick, although I haven't tried to be
fair.

HTH.

Sorry I have been meaning to email you about this.
I remember you were talking to me off list about this.
I ended up building a debian lenny kernel; you could try that, but it may 
screw something up.

The best option is to probably build your own. I am happy to help you with 
this.
If you want email me off list and I'll help you out. Hopefully we can get 
on im at some stage and I can help you. It really needs im its to 
complicated for email.

Also do you know that speakup is for a full screen console not gnome? So 
just for the command line no graphical stuff like orca.
I use it all the time since I don't really like a gui much.
Also speakup won't work with gnome-terminal.
