I meant speakup. Glenn ----- Original Message ----- From: "Didier Spaier" <didier@xxxxxxxx> To: <speakup@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, October 27, 2022 7:13 PM Subject: Re: Installing Voxin I don't understand. the voxin TTS and voices are intended to be used with screen readers like fenrir, speechd-up or orca, or with emacspeac, not espeakup and the same goes for speech-dispatcher. Which screen reader do you use? Or are trying to use several ones at the same time? I assume that if speakup repeatedly speaks something like: speakup failed to load software synth and still works, maybe the speakup-soft driver is built-in your kernel, not provided as a module?
