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!
