Hi all. I'm using speakup, with kernel version 2.6.17, using grml Linux 0.8. Sometimes, with software speech, I will be typing or whatever, and all of a sudden, (for no particular reason) that I can find, the speech will suddenly "dye." So, I'll normally have to re-launch speechd-up. Either that, or sometimes re-launch speech-dispatcher. Any ideas there on that issue? I'm sorry I cannot be more spasific, then this, but that's about all I know. I will mention this though.. (just inc ase it helps) The PREEMPT_BLK= option in the kernel configuration under pereempt is set to N. (No.) I'm using espeak as the software synthesizer, and I've seriously tweeked a few lines in spech-dispatcher, so that espeak is as responsive as ever. And, for the most part it works fine. What interests me is this speech-loss issue. Are there any good suggestions on swiftly restarting a given synthesizer in speakup, if it dies, and the blind person is suddenly left without speech altogether? (I'm asking,) because when I have no speech, I am almost sertin (nearly 100 percent) of the time to make typos, and such. :D Thanks a lot!
