Hi, Igor: If you're getting errors in tcl, then you should expect emacspeak will break, as indeed you've discovered. By all means, try ViaVoice, and also try the second synth approach. I suspect you'll prefer the latter approach because ViaVoice tends to prevent other audio from playing. Another way to get at the issue of whether it's a conflict with Speakup is to try your tcl commands without Speakup loaded. You should be able to do this even without sighted assistance if you get eflite and yasr. On Tue, 7 May 2002, Igor Gueths wrote: > Hi Janina. Well what happens is that first, I hit pint screen to so-called kill Speakup. Next, I type emacspeak. When I get Speakup up again to see why I got a \a (bell character), I see that at the bottom it says process speaker not running. I believe that this has to do with the i/o errors I was getting while trying to test the speech server with tcl. Also, I might be getting another dectalk express sometime in the future. If I plug that into my other serial port /dev/ttyS1, and re-export the dtk_port variable, could this possibly fix the problem? Or possibly using viavoice instead?
