Espeakup

[Cheryl Homiak]

Well, since I couldn't resolve the issues with using my doubletalk lt at 
boot for the time being, I decided to try espeakup. This was so easy!!! 
All I did was install espeakup, add speakup_soft start=1 to /etc/modules 
and reboot. Very nice!!! I'm also using espeak with orca and so far I'm 
extremely happy with it. In fact, when I logged in to gnome and orca 
started automatically and speech began, speakup, which was still reading 
some of the boot information, didn't even miss a beat and it stopped 
reading bootup information and began reading what I was typing immediately 
when I switched to a text console and started typing. It also doesn't show 
any kind of conflicts so far when using it along with brltty. It's true 
that it doesn't start speaking as early as would a hardware synth working 
from the kernel or initrd but it is working very impressively so far for 
me!!!
