Well, it has been a long time since I have been on this list. Over the years I have been using Orca, but I have been missing speakup. I have used my raspberry PI's up to this time on ssh. I was hoping that the new release in December of the rasbion which has access built in would just work out of the box. I am able to get Orca going and Emacspeak, and even espeak at the command line. The problem is speakup seems to be working but does not work. When I am at the tty terminal using the keyboard and with Xwin shut down. I can make espeak say thins but I am not able to get speakup to work. When I do PS I can see that both speak up and espeakup -V are running. I have tried doing Sudo Systemctl enable espeakup.service Sudo Systemctl start espeakup.service I have even tried without the .service on the previous lines. So far nothing I have tried has got speakup talking. Does anyone know how to get speakup to talk on the new Rasbion build? I would much rather be using speakup than Ora or emacspeak. I have asked this on the Raspberry PI list already and no one has answered.
