Hello to everyone

Amanda,

As I understand it, it is one size fits all.

When you start the install, you give the installation 2 parameters
firstly, you tell the installer that you want to use text mode.
secondly you tell the installer the type of synthesizer you want to use.

E.G.
text, speakup_synth=acntsa
would be the parameters for the accent sa

Does this answer your question?
