It sounds like espeak-ng is working properly, but that you might be mistaken about how the different components of the accessibility stack work together. espeak-ng is a speech synthesizer, it only speaks the text that is fed to it. You could probably get it to read the output of another command by piping that command's output to espeak-ng, but what you probably want is a screen reader that will automatically feed text on the screen to espeak-ng. The most widely used options are probably to use espeakup to bridge the speakup kernel module with espeak-ng or to configure Fenrir to use espeak-ng as it's synth, though there are others, and sadly, I have no experience manually setting any of these up on distros I'm familiar with(Mostly Debian and it's derivatives) and no experience with Arch at all. _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
