emacspeak

Hi, Igor:

If you're getting errors in tcl, then you should expect emacspeak
will break, as indeed you've discovered.

By all means, try ViaVoice, and also try the second synth
approach. I suspect you'll prefer the latter approach because
ViaVoice tends to prevent other audio from playing.

Another way to get at the issue of whether it's a conflict with
Speakup is to try your tcl commands without Speakup loaded. You
should be able to do this even without sighted assistance if you
get eflite and yasr.

> Hi Janina. Well what happens is that first, I hit pint screen to so-called kill Speakup. Next, I type emacspeak. When I get Speakup up again to see why I got a \a (bell character), I see that at the bottom it says process speaker not running. I believe that this has to do with the i/o errors I was getting while trying to test the speech server with tcl. Also, I might be getting another dectalk express sometime in the future. If I plug that into my other serial port /dev/ttyS1, and re-export the dtk_port variable, could this possibly fix the problem? Or possibly using viavoice instead? Thanks!
