I recently updated the debian init script I wrote to start software speech at boot if a hardware synth is not configured. ie. It supposedly checks if speakup is speaking through a hardware synth and if not, starts software speech. See: http://www.math.wisc.edu/~jheim/stuff/softsynth.html Instead of requiring 2 scripts, it's just one. And now to switch from your hardware synth to software speech, you can say: # /etc/init.d/speechd-up restart Well, at least it works on my system. -- John Heim jheim at math.wisc.edu / 608-263-4189 If you are blind and you use linux, please subscribe to blinux-list at redhat.com
