Hi, I forgot to say, that I use Fedora 25, 32 bit. Also: /usr/sbin/kbdsniffd was not made executable by the install process, so I had to do it by hand: sudo chmod +x /usr/sbin/kbdsniffd Also, I had to make a symbolic link in /dev/input/uinput to /dev/uinput: sudo ln -s /dev/uinput /dev/input/uinput Which reminds me, that you have to load the uinput kernel module, if you don't have it loaded already: sudo modprobe uinput Both kbdsniffd and sbl should be run as root or with sudo. kbdsniffd should be already running before you start sbl. -- Best wishes, Zahari Zahari Yurukov wrote: Fri, Apr 28, 2017 at 10:13:07PM +0300 > Hi, > Ok, the name of the synth should actually be the name of the module, > wich is speechd for speech-dispatcher. > You can also set it in /etc/sbl.conf > The language could be set in /etc/sbl/spk/speechd > > For kbdsniffd I did only: > make > sudo make install > > Although I have many development packages installed already. > > For sbl I had to install bluez-libs-devel and libusb-devel. > And then again: > make > sudo make install > > But before that, I had to edit sbl/speechdlib.h: > diff --git i/sbl/speechdlib.h w/sbl/speechdlib.h > index 5462407..bd67488 100644 > --- i/sbl/speechdlib.h > +++ w/sbl/speechdlib.h > @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ > #ifndef _SPEECHDLIB_H > #define _SPEECHDLIB_H > > -#include <libspeechd.h> > +#include <speech-dispatcher/libspeechd.h> > //#define _SPEECHD_H > > void speechd_close (); > > The Orca directory, which I mentioned in my previous message is: > /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/orca > On my system it's found in: > /usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/orca > That didn't cause problems though. > > So sbl is working here with speech. > Unfortunately for me, no unicode support. > > I can't find help mode, and the manual explains only command options. > The keymap files are installed in: > /etc/sbl/keymap/ > So i reviewed them (A little hard to read without vowels). > At first glans I don't find anything special, which speakup or yasr didn't have. > Fenrir has much more functions, for example.
