In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: I don't know how Links is laid out on screen, but assuming that it has a fixed-size window for the Web page content, you could set up a window in your DOS screen reader that covers that area, then read that window whenever you need to - for example, when you move to a new screen of text. This isn't ideal, of course, but it would be better than reviewing line by line. I remember having Doslynx, but I'm not sure whether I ever had Links (the chain) on my DOS system. I did have DOS versions of a lot of Unix-based programs. ?On 11/29/19, 10:51, "Speakup on behalf of Karen Lewellen" wrote: Hi folks, Hope to ask this clearly, as it may also apply to speakup, at least for those using a command line setup. My goal mirrors the command line options included in some tools that write information to the screen in a way that speech happens largely automatically.

I am seeking such a command line option for the links as in the chain browser. I believe? it should exist because there is a command line option that establishes numbered links. hoping that my question is clear, can anyone tell me what command line option improves how content is spoken when using the links browser?

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Well given this dos compile of Links the chain with JavaScript was released on 20 August 2019, I imagine you did not have it previously. Further, my dos screen reader already provides such windows. To be sure the window method is not speech while things are progressing, which is my goal, but it is something smiles.

I do not own a hard synth so can only test with speakup_soft myself, but I could ask Slint users to do so with a hard synth (ltlk at least and probably apollo as well). With which driver did you try: soft or hard and then which hard synth? Also Janina, does this issue occur also with linux 5.4.6.arch3-1?

The most recent was a December twelve build I believe. I have not seen any 5.4.x kernels available under sid yet. Admittedly, I don't try to upgrade every day or anything. I pretty much strictly use speakup_soft with espeakup. I first thought it might be an espeakup problem since it is as flakey as ever with the lack of speech interrupt ability in a timely manner but the problem still persists with my old solid espeakup and the old espeak libraries. I would be willing to test your kernels if you could send me a drop in replacement with the System.map etc. Kirk On Tue, 31 Dec 2019, Didier Spaier wrote: > Hi Kirk and Janina, > > I won't ship a 5.3.x Kernel in Slint anyway as it is officially EOL > upstream, however I plan to provide a 5.4 kernel soon and would like > to have it tested wrt this issue. > > I do not own a hard synth so can only test with speakup_soft myself, but > I could ask Slint users to do so with a hard synth (ltlk at least and > probably apollo as well). > > With which driver did you try: soft or hard and then which hard synth? > > Also Janina, does this issue occur also with linux 5.4.6.arch3-1? > > As an aside, Kirk did you try one of the package labeled > linux-image-5.4.0-1- provided for Debian SID? > > Best regards, > > Didier > > Le 31/12/19 ? 15:46, Kirk Reiser a ?crit?: >> Yes Janina: On my boxes the machine is locked up solid as in not able >> to even ssh or ping the machine. >> >> I have had to revert back to a 5.2.x series kernel to by-pass the >> problem.
