Howdy Chime ,
While Fenrir has many more options, I have not heard of it support
DecTalk?
fenrir supports dectalk using emacspeak speech back-end. this is
currently very experimental lacking testers or users.
it requres
- emacspeak somewhere on hard disc
- python-pexpect
- tcl / tclsh
- set speech driver to "emacspeakDriver"
- set speech serverPath in your settings.conf for emacspeak to your TTS
server to use:
serverPath=/home/chrys/Projekte/emacspeak/servers/espeak
is what i used for test it with espeak.
again, its still very untested ( i don´t own most of the devices listed
for emacspeak) and experimental
to maybe not break an existing setup. you can test it by passing the
settings wit -o parameter at startup once
sudo fenrir -o
"speech#driver=emacspeakDriver;speech#serverPath=/path/to/your/emacspeak/server"
or create an copy of the settings.conf, change the required parameters
and use
sudo fenrir -s /path/to/your/copy/of/fenrir/settings.conf
to use an given setting file.
if wit works, awesome :). if not, let me know. maybe we can fix it.
good luck.
cheers chrys

Hi All: Several days ago I asked something similar in the Speakup
list, but I guess maybe this may be a great place to inquire? Last
Thursday evening I had to restart my Debian machine after 130days.
Kernel jumped from 5.10 to 5.15 03. First thing I noticed was a
4second delay in the DecTalk was back until I ajusted flush-time to
100. I think back last September I was able to set this at 10, much
easier to scroll-and-listen to content. Please consider allowing a 10
setting. Next, I bet this involves caps-start-and-stop? If I type or
read any capital letter, the next item will say a "p" on top of what
ever that symbol or even a space. So as an example, a capital i
followed by a space will say "i p space" This is `extremely
challenging to read charactor-by-charactor. I looked-and- caps-start
is set at 160-and-stop is 100. Sure pitch rises on capitals but its
these extra p's which are in my way. Next, now once again
insert2-and-3 for pitch are broken. And eventually I will create an
audio file to send Samuel to demonstrate that just out of the blue,
while reading/scrolling, volume, rate, and pitch drop suddenly. These
have been occurring ever since 2003 when the DecTalk drivers joined
Speakup. Is Speakup an only console screen-reader with DecTalk
support? While Fenrir has many more options, I have not heard of it
support DecTalk?
And lastly on another topic, did something change involving ssh, as
now if we enable openssh server, any1 can login to my system without
any authentication. Obviously until we find out how to fix this, its
turned off, but maybe since last September Debian may have changed
something. I would very much appreciate suggestions on all of these
items. Thanks so much in advance.
