John, May I ask how one could use this to get Speakup talking via the Dectalk USB? The impression I got is that the driver will only work with physical serial ports. Thus, this is only really useful if one wants to connect the synth via both USB and physical serial at the same time. If I’m wrong, and this will work with USB to serial adaptors, I’d love to be corrected. Thanks, Zack. > On Aug 3, 2016, at 9:14 AM, John G Heim <jheim@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > All, > > > I wrote some udev rules for loading speakup drivers for synths that have a USB connection. Speakup does not speak through the USB port but udev can load the speakup drivers if it sees a hardware synth on a USB port. Right now, it works only for the Access Solutions Tripletalk and Dectalk synths. If anyone wants to send me the manufacturer and product ID strings for other synths, I'd be glad to add them. You can download my udev rules file thusly: > > > $ sudo wget -O /etc/udev/rules.d/10-speakup.rules http://www.iavit.org/~john/debian/10-speakup.rules > > > This morning I took a fresh debian install, installed the kernel from my iavit.org web site, configured these udev rules, and rebooted and my machine came up talking with my Tripletalk synth.
