I looked at speakup.c, and here's what should be a complete list of supported synthesizers and their ID's. It might help someone looking through the archives later. The option is speakup_synth=ID where ID is listed below. You can also use speakup_ser=number where number corresponds to the serial port your synthesizer is connected to; 0 for com1 in dos, 1 for com2, 2 for com3, and 3 for com4. If this number isn't specified, speakup will probe these ports looking for the synthesizer. Accent PC: acntpc Accent SA: acntsa Apolo: apolo Audapter: audptr Braille 'n Speak, and other such Blazie products: bns DecTalk External (older model): decext DecTalk PC (newer model): dectlk DoubleTalk PC (internal): dtlk LiteTalk/DoubleTalk LT (external): ltlk Speakout: spkout Transport: txprt This list is current as of speakup version 0.10.
