GRML with SpeakUp

[Glenn]

Okay, this time it worked with the second enter, but it is like a choppy and 
very slow sound, quite unintelligible.
It is really quite bad, and I am used to espeak and even setting the speed 
around 70, so you may know that there is something wrong here and it's not 
usable.
I have the GRML 96 version, and it is running on an Intel NUC, with 8 GB of 
RAM.
I burned it to an SD card.
The speech is so bad, that I cannot make any modifications unless it is a 
basic CLI command.
Thanks for any more info.
Glenn

Since the method on starting software speech in grml has changed, and
since I have no clue what old post you're following, I'll describe the
process from the start.

1. Boot from your grml media.

2. You should hear a single beep, this is the boot menu, press enter.

3. After some time depending on the media you're booting from, you
   should hear a series of beeps, which you described as
   annoying. This is a configuration menu, just press enter to leave
   it.

4. You should now be at a root prompt. Here you can type:

modprobe speakup_soft
espeakup

If all went well, you should now get speech. Sometimes I don't get
speech when doing this. If that happens, pressing the enter key starts
things talking for me. Good luck.
