I seem to have Speakup in Ubuntu running but it does seem to take a lot of work as I have to switch consoles after quitting Orca, type my username and password after changing to a text console, typing sudo modprobe speakup_sftsyn and having to reconfirm my passwrord again before I get speech. Is there a quicker way? Also I have noticed the speech is very low in Speakup compared with Orca even though they both use the same software synth. How do I adjust the level? I tried Caps Lock 2 as I am using a laptop but although the volume says 9 for my setting, the speech is still quiet.
