Hi, David: I think there are a couple of solutions floating around for this. My own is really quite simple: 1.) I create /etc/speakup 2.) For each synth I have, I create the appropriate subdirectory, e.g. for my internal Doubletalk ISA card I create /etc/speakup/dtlk 3.) I copy the files that make the settings I want from /proc/speakup into that directory. Note that I need only take those where my settings will be different from the default. rate is one such for me. 4.) Now the magic. In /etc/rc.local--or perhaps in $HOME/.bash_profile--I have the following entry: cp -r /etc/speakup/`cat /proc/speakup/synth_name`/* /proc/speakup/ Of course, this can also go in a script or alias for use on the fly. hth Janina David Bruzos writes: > Hi Everyone: > Is there any way to make the speakup voice, pitch, rate, etc, settings > stick after a system reboot? > > I know that I can make a boot script to reset the settings, but it seems > that there is a better way to do this.
