Hiya, I at least have found the VMWare audio quality to be quite acceptable, even with software speech. I use espeak instead of flite, both for personal reasons and because flite causes static on the emulated es1371. Granted, I'm mostly intending this VM as a Linux server, so won't be playing much MP3 audio or the like on it. But we'll see. Thanks, Zack. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tyler Spivey" <tspivey@xxxxxxxxxx> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Sunday, April 15, 2007 9:35 PM Subject: Re: VmWare > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > I've installed everything from FreeBSD to Solaris to Linux in a vm, and > am getting quite good at it now.
