Installing speak up on Ubuntu server

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello Donna: I believe if it is a recent ubuntu speakup should already
be on the machine. You can try as root "modprobe speakup_soft" at a
shell prompt and if there is no messages it is installed. If that
works you will need to install the espeakup or speech-dispatcher
packages for software speech. You can do, once again as root,
"aptitude install espeakup" or apt-get if you prefer that.

If you get speakup working with those commands then you can just place
a line at the bottom of your /etc/modules file that says
"speakup_soft" without the quotes. Installing espeakup will
automatically set it up to start at boot.
