Yes you can use your external synth to install speakup. No you can not currently use it with gnome and gnopernicus. Someone here on this list got their external synth hosed by gnopernicus because the program was expecting a braille display on the serial port. The default speech for gnome is festival. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Taylor, Carlos Ervin" <cetaylor@xxxxxxx> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Monday, March 07, 2005 1:07 PM Subject: RE: Installing linux using speakup? What about a double talk lt? I have access to a double talk external. Can I use this as a speech synth to get speech during the installation of linux? I eventually want to experiment with gnome. Does it matter which distribution I get that will work with both speak up and gnome and gnopernicus? -----Original Message----- From: speakup-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:speakup-bounces at braille.uwo.ca] On Behalf Of Kirk Reiser Sent: Monday, March 07, 2005 3:01 PM To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux. Subject: Re: Installing linux using speakup? I don't believe you will be able to use the DECTalk PC to install linux because it needs to be loaded as a module because of its need of having software loaded at boot time.
