Hi all, I have one more question to ask. Have you considered to add the support to the software synthesis into speakup? I am from the Czech republic and people don't use hardware synthesis here that much, usually because of price, which is quite high. But on the other hand, we have one or two software synthesizers which are free software and which can be used. We have managed to use these synthsizers with emacspeak which helps visually impaired users very much. But having such a support in speakup would be even better. This is just an idea at the moment but I would like you to think about it and maybe shape it a bit more. My notion is to send the speech output to the pipe (eg. /dev/speech) which would be read by the speech daemon which would know how to work with given software synthesis. The protocol should be as simple as possible, the best would be to use some well known (eg. apollos) syntax. I feel I could do the deamon part but I'm a bit scared about hacking kernel sources ;-). What do you think about it? Would it be feasible/hard/easy? I would appreciate any comments? Regards Roman
