In all fairness, there's several similar sounding things that work together in this realm, so getting bits confused isn't hard. As I understand it: speakup is a Linux Kernel module that provides text-mode screen reading functionality at the system level. espeak is a widely used opensource, cross-platform speech synthesizer used by several screen readers, including Orca and NVDA. espeakup is the userland application that serves as abridge between speakup and espeak. -- Sincerely, Jeffery Wright Bachelor of Computer Science President Emeritus, Nu Nu Chapter, Phi Theta Kappa. _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
