Try this script for loading speech-dispatcher. It's not too well commented because I wrote it for me, and never released. #!/bin/sh modprobe speakup_sftsyn speech-dispatcher -d speechd-up cd /proc/speakup echo "$1" > rate echo "$2" > punc_level echo "$3" > reading_punc # exit On Tue, 2007-05-01 at 12:22 -0700, Keith Hinton wrote: > Luke, > could you please refresh me where Ubuntu/Debian automatically loads spessifyed modules? The other question is this. In edition to loading in my case, Speakup_sftsyn, how would I be sure that speechd-up and speech-dispatcher launched automatically? Otherwise I won't have speech on the Ubuntu server, should I choose to go with that. Let me know what you're suggestions are, please. > Regards, --Keith > _______________________________________________ > Speakup mailing list > Speakup at braille.uwo.ca > http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup > > Email has been scanned for viruses by Altman Technologies' email management service - www.altman.co.uk/emailsystems -- Chris Norman. <!-- cnorman at rnibncw.ac.uk --> telnet://ptfm.co.uk:4242 Email has been scanned for viruses by Altman Technologies' email management service - www.altman.co.uk/emailsystems
