Hi John and others, I believe this could be slightly dated, do you still have to do a modprobe speakup_soft, followed by running espeakup to start software speech in the latest grml? Yes there are a few problems still. Marcel -----Original Message----- From: John G. Heim Sent: Wednesday, February 06, 2013 10:16 AM To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux. Subject: Re: creating a speakup cli cd I use grml for this. See www.grml.org. I wrote a wiki entry on using the accessibility features of grml on the wiki of the International Association of Visually Impaired Technologists. The page is here: http://wiki.iavit.org/index.php/Accessing_grml Grml has some access issues. It's not perfect. However, if I were to build my own rescue disk, I'd start with grml. They encourage people to build their own disks and include a tool for doing that. I think the tool is called grml-live or something like that. You can google that. But in my job as the manager of the high performance clusters at the University of Wisconsin Math department, I always just use generic grml. I have not found it necessary to modify it.
