Hi. Well, several reasons. Emacspeak uses IBM Viavoice wich is not Open source and not covered under the GPL. However Viavoice is free to download from IBM. Second reason is that Speakup isn't quite ready for software speech. It still needs some work done to get Speakup to build as a module. ----- Original Message ----- From: Alex Snow <alex_snow@xxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Sunday, March 10, 2002 9:36 AM Subject: Re: peaceful coexistence of Speakup and Emacspeak > If emaxspeak has the software synth, why cant speakup "steal" it?
