Wow! What a wealth of information. I'll take a double talk home with me and try this this evening. I will probably always have a windows machine but figured I'd play around with this to learn what I can and see what its like. I am also testing the mac OS with speech and am getting more and more interested in learning about other operating systems. -----Original Message----- From: speakup-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:speakup-bounces at braille.uwo.ca] On Behalf Of jim grimsby Sent: Monday, March 07, 2005 3:49 PM To: 'Speakup is a screen review system for Linux.'

Then boot your system from the cd. Note if your system will not boot from cd you may need some one to check your bios for you and corect that problem. Most units running windows 98 or lator will boot from cd. Then at the boot prompt witch will not speak type this speakup speakup_synth=ltlk Then press enter. After that you will here the synthasizer report the kernel init. Now the installer will load make sure you follow the prompts key 8 on your num pad is your best friend threw this hole proseager. This reads the curant line. Key five is your second best friend this reads curant word. If you review the screen with the speakup commands make sure you return to where the cursor is before going on. To do this press enter on the numb pad.
