It's been awhile since I contributed nine years! I have a David modified version for 4.5.0 kernels which has the following added features. Per screen synth variables so Darlene and I don't fight over punctuation, rate etc. A variable can be set to multi so each console can have its own settings. Also multiple cut and paste buffers. One is local, to each console and three global ones like the current cut and paste buffer. Also for those of us in software where people like code properly indented, a say indent feature which says how far the line is indented. Also you can read the contents of any of the paste buffers in case you forget what is in them. Also changed rate/pitch variables so instead of them being a number, the words per minute or absolute pitch values are spoken. The next thing I am working is to get away from requiring an on-board uart and instead, use any serial/usb device available in the initial dev-fs. Yes, it will use evil writes to kernel space devices and the purests will stone me maybe. But on-board uarts are becoming rare and pci-express serial cards ought to be useful. _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://linux-speakup.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/speakup
