Hi: Will I be able to use software speech with Debian testing and the next stable release "squeeze"? My understanding is that I can't use software speech with Lenny. So I need sighted assistance when doing a install. I've used Chris Brannons Talking Arch and love it. However the constantly updating of packages is sometimes very painful when running it as a server... -----Original Message----- From: speakup-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:speakup-bounces at braille.uwo.ca] On Behalf Of Kenny Hitt Sent: 5. august 2010 19:17 To: speakup at braille.uwo.ca Subject: Re: debian testing no speech after new install Hi. You would add it to /etc/modules. Use what ever editor you want to add the line speakup_apollo to the bottom of the file.
