Hi Don Could you explain how you managed to get Speakup working with the backtrack distro and does it work well? Also gnome orca, how well does that run on backtrack for you? I'm sorry but I am quite new to linux and I am not sure how to go about learning and which distros to start with as backtrack, ubuntu are the 2 main linux OS that are going to be used at the university I am hoping to attend. Is there a talking install to install linux backtrack or would I need sighted assistance to set it up?

So far I have incorporated brltty 4.2 and as of this afternoon I got speakup working with it as well. The backtrack5 distro is based on ubuntu 10.4 (lucid), but boots to the console. I have installed gnome-orca onto my virtual machine as well, but I need to know how do I get speakup to release pulseaudio and speech-dispatcher to orca and vice versa? Also are there any plans on making speakup work with other software tts engines like the svox pico synthesizer? _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup at braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
