Speakup in user space, why or why not?

[Sina Bahram]

Hi Janina,

The point is one of personal curiocity, questions about software
engineering, and just general interest in why.

I really would like to know if something like this is possible, and if the
only reason for having it in the kernel is for boot messages.

Plus, I like SpeakUP, *smile*

Take care,
Sina

Sina, I don't understand the "why" of your question.

You already have emacspeak, speech-dispatcher, and yasr for speech as user
space based access. You So, what's the point?
