Well some improvement, Voxin has installed to my Debian Bullseye, I heard
back from Gilles, and he informed me that Voxin 3.X won't install to a 32
bit system, so I installed Voxin-2.2
But when it boots up, Speakup repeatedly speaks something like:
speakup failed to load software synth
But it defaulted to eSpeak, so I still have that.
The Voxin installer asked if I want Voxin to be the default synth, and I
entered for yes.
So, is there a problem in speech-dispatcher, specifically in speechd.conf?
Thanks for any info.
Glenn

Hi Group,
I'm back working on Debian Bullseye on my old Asus 701 netbook.
It is operating okay, and I wanted to get something installed to control my
NanoVNA network analiser for Ham radio work.
But first, I thought I would try again to get Voxin (IBM ViaVoice) working
on it.
I am just using Speakup with eSpeak at this time.
I contacted Oralux on this, a long time back, and was offered a suggestion
to try, but I get errors in trying the command they gave me, and I'm hoping
someone here might help me to understand the usage of their suggestion.
Here's what was suggested I try:
sudo --login $PWD/voxin-installer.sh
Normally I just do:
sudo bash voxin-installer.sh
But here's the error from that which prompted me to contact Oralux
initially:
Your version of speech-dispatcher has not been recognized.
If the installation continues, voxin will use its module for
speech-dispatcher graphic 545
Do you really
want to continue?
If yes, press the ENTER key.
