I know of Pied and got it working here, but it assumes that the screen reader can talk through speech-dispatcher directly. What's more, it has a graphical interface, so choosing a voice wouldn't be as easy as a command. That said, if you can drop in a configuration file, it just may work without the graphical interface, although I don't have one to send along at this time, as I found it to be a bit funky with random letters and sometimes numbers. Even some words made it mumble at times, so I had to revert to DECTalk. Now if you don't mind RHVoice, it works with speech-dispatcher as well, in fact it ships with its own speech-dispatcher module. In either case, though it may not work with speakup, either RHVoice or Piper will in fact work with both TDSR and Fenrir in text mode, as well as Orca in graphical desktop mode. So someone got Provox talking with software speech in FreeDOS? I need to find out more about this. Gives me something else to play with over here. ~Kyle To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to blinux-list+unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxx.
