We have made a lot of radical changes to all the drivers in the past month or so and particularly the Express driver. Jim Danley the person that worked the hardest testing our changes never could get 100% accuracy with probing so we decided to do it the way all the other screen readers in the world do it, and that is to just talk to ttyS0 and do no probing. So it should now work first time every time. It will no longer attempt to probe all ttys so you will need to specify the port if you are using your synth on any device other than ttyS0. This way there is no more guessing about where the synth is; if it isn't on the first port then each user must tell speakup where it is or not get speech. So much for us trying to be itelligent about finding synths but at least it's reliable. On Mon, 28 Apr 2008, Tony Baechler wrote: > Hi, I was not aware of this. Sorry! I'll pull and rebuild. Thanks.
