Hello List, |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Congratulations on finally getting this to staging! 5 years is a lot of |
| 26 |
patience from the developers. So before anything, all users and hackers |
| 27 |
deserve many compliments. |

What doers the software synthesizers stack look like now? Is there any |
| 30 |
interest in it being tested or is it no longer a viable option? |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
It used to look like |
| 33 |
kernel |
| 34 |
|+ speakup.ko with speakup_soft |
| 35 |
|+ speakup_soft with parameter start=1 |
| 36 |
|+ espeak installed on system with USE=portaudio |
| 37 |
|+ speakup package installed on system |
| 38 |
|+ speech-dispatcher installed on system |
| 39 |
|+Add speech-dispatcher to a runlevel a |
| 40 |
|+Add espeakup to runlevel a |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
This worked for a while but stopped in kernel 2..6.32 or so. i tried again |
| 43 |
a few weeks ago, but speech-dispatcher seems to be not working any longer |
| 44 |
on ~amd64. If anyone has any idea what the current stack looks like, i |
| 45 |
would appreciate some pointers. For obvious reasons links websites are |
| 46 |
preferred but if this is still 'in the back room' then perhaps we might |
| 47 |
start something about this on the accessibility project page? |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
Depends if there is any interest. |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
All the best anyway, |
| 52 |
