I tried this command at the command line. When I ran it my cursor moved down a line and I was able to type words and then I would hit return, but my doubletalk wouldn't talk. I am trying to test my doubletalk synthesizer. I bought a USB to serial adaptor cable, I am using it with a doubletalk speech synthesizer. Just wondering why I can't get my doubletalk to talk? Any help would be appreciated. The command would be: echo "text" > /dev/ttyS0 ...but the hal daemon might get in the way. Sent from my iPhone
