If you are using a doubletalk internal, try this. speakup.s speakup_synth=dtlk If it's a litetalk external I think it would be speakup.s speakup_synth=ltlk. Remember the equal sign "=" and also that speakup_synth has an underscore _ in it. HTH.

I read the speakup installation guide and did exactly to the word what it said. so I stuck the slackware cd inand booted and when it stopped I typed > > speakup.i speakup_synth=ltlk > > and pressed enter and got no speech. I downloaded and burned the slackware 10.0 d1 iso image and burned it, is it that 10.0 doesn't have speakup included or does that have the 2.6.22 kernel which is broeken with speakup? People give me a clue here google has beenn nothing but a pain for research and can't find any answers. What I need is a list of distros that have brltty and speakup support and a list of boot commands. It's driving me absolutely crazy not being able to get anythigng to work and everyone else is working fine. > > Cody > _______________________________________________ > Speakup mailing list > Speakup at braille.uwo.ca > http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup >
