key echo in speakup

[Keith Barrett]

Hi,

Is there any way of turning off key echo in speakup.

I have found the file /sys/accessibility/speakup/key_echo and I have 
found that changing the 1 to  0 turns off the echo but is there any way 
of making this the default?

I prefer typing without feedback but would quite like speech when using 
the backspace or delete.

I usually turn down the volume on the synth but thought it would be good 
to find the correct way of achieving this.

Many thanks

Keith

Hi,
You can use the speakupconf utility to save a configuration with key echo 
turned off.  The backspace echo still works as expected.  After saving 
this configuration, you can load it on startup from your distro's boot 
scripts.
Best,
Zack.

key echo in speakup

[Keith Barrett]

Hi,

I am trying to turn off key echoe in speakup.

Using debian lenny.

I found a file in /sys/module/speakup called key_echoe which just 
contained a 1.  I used nano to edit and change this to 0 which did stop 
key echoe.  However, following a reboot, key echoe was back.

So, am I doing this wrong?  How should I go about setting key echoe to 
off?

Many thanks.

In your startup script, do echo 0 > 
/sys/modules/whathever/the/path/key_echo
Put it in rc.local if you do not have another good place to put it.
HTH, Willem

Set it as a module parameter: speakup.key_echo = 0 on the Kernel Command
Line, or options speakup key_echo=0 somewhere in /etc/modprobe.d or
/etc/modutils, according to your modutils version.
