Speakup on Other Unix Operating Systems

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi.

Since speakup is a patch to the Linux kernel, it will only work on Linux
systems.
Your choices for screen readers are yasr or brltty.  I haven't ever managed to get yasr's
DECtalk driver to work, so you will probably end up using flite for the
synth with yasr.
Your other option would be to do everything on an ssh session from a
Linux box.  Then, you can use speakup on the Linux system.

Hope this helps.
