Hello

[Edward L. Barnes]

Hi there Eric and anyone else following this thread including the 
gentleman who asked about it, the braille lite m 20 I believe emmulates 
a Double-Talk in the same way that the other Millenium series notetakers 
from Freedom Sciencefiction do. 
So, the speakup key word synth designation when doing the install of 
your distro at the beginning to make it talk with notetaker in speech 
box mode would be:
text speakup_synth=ltlk 
Of course if it's not detected you may have to pass other parameters on 
the command line however my attitude regarding this is something like, I 
won't complicate your life with that stuff at the moment, remember that 
however if you do need help feel free to write to me direct and or to 
the complete speakup list.
Hth and good luck!

This is what you have to know.  if so, you can use Speakup to provide access to the console, which is a screen review package that is installed as a bunch of kernel patches gotten via anonymous CVS or FTP.  If it does, then you're all set.  I don't have any specifications as far as what the Hardware specs on the synth are, so I'm sorry that I can't be more helpful in this regard.
