Some basic Ubuntu instructions follow. Install the speech-dispatcher and speechd-up packages with apt-get. Then load the speakup_sftsyn module. with modprobe. To get this module to load on boot add it to the modules that are loaded at boot time with: echo speakup_sftsyn >>/etc/modules Tom -----Original Message----- From: speakup-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:speakup-bounces at braille.uwo.ca] On Behalf Of Willem van der Walt Sent: Wednesday, August 01, 2007 3:35 AM To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux. Subject: Re: speakup newbie Yes. Speakup is IMHO better in console mode. I am not an ubuntu user so cannot really give you specific instructions. If you use speech-dispatcher orca and speakup can co-exist peasfully together. Regards, Willem On Tue, 31 Jul 2007, Mike Reiser wrote: > Hello, > > I just joined and would like to try speakup.
