Hi there, Steve Holms already toyed with a similar hack but I'm not sure how far he got with it. You might want to catch up with him to see how it's coming along. The thing you need to do first and foremost is have the userspace utility detect the type of synth you're using and have it supply the correct params to the /proc/speakup/xxx file where xxx is one of rate, volume, tone, pitch, etc etc. Hth -----Original Message----- From: speakup-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:speakup-admin at braille.uwo.ca] On Behalf Of Joseph C. Lininger Sent: Friday, 3 January 2003 10:59 PM To: Speakup List Subject: speakup control Hi all, I'm thinking of writing a little program to control the various parameters of speakup. I was wondering if any one would find something like this useful? I was thinking of things like controlling rate, pitch, etc. of synthesizer. Also, maybe functions to allow for speakup to be turned on and off, set column width, and other speakup parameters. If you would use something like this if it were available, please let me know. If you would like something like this, I would also like some suggestions on how everyone would like the interface to work. I look forward to hearing from everyone. -- Joseph C.
