Hi, I've downloaded the sources here, both sbl and kbdsniffd, and managed to compile them. It seems it's working as far as the log file says. I see that there's --speech option, to set the speech syntesizer to use, which defaults to none. I tried espeak, but no luck here. What should I type here to use espeak? Also, the makefile says "make sure Orca is installed in blah-blah... python2.7... blah-blah, which is not possible - Orca uses python3 now. What's Orca used for here? If it's used for speech, that's bad, cause probably sbl should be ported to python3, or at least the related parts. I haven't looked at the source code yet to see what's doing what. -- Best wishes, Zahari Linux for blind general discussion wrote: Fri, Apr 28, 2017 at 01:51:22PM +0000 > Okay, since I've always used SBL with a keyboard and have never had > luck switching out a Knoppix custom kernel for a Vanilla Debian > kernel, I'm guessing the problem is that the Knoppix kernel has the > keyboard sniffing patch and the Debian kernel doesn't. > > Obviously, this raises two questions: > 1.
