eSpeak and Screen readers?

[Kenny Hitt]

Hi.

Speech-dispatcher has a config file to use espeak and the generic
speech-dispatcher module.  In Ubuntu, you will just install
speech-dispatcher and espeak.  Then, edit the /etc/speechd.conf file and
uncomment the line to add the espeak-generic module.  Change the default
output module to espeak-generic and restart speech-dispatcher.  You will
probably need to make other changes to speechd.comf and
espeak-generic.conf for your language,
but I don't know what should be changed since I use English.  Both files
are well commented, so you should have no trouble finding the needed
lines to change.


Once you have speech-dispatcher working with espeak, you can tell orca
to use the gnome-speech speech-dispatcher driver.
To get things working with speakup, install the speechd-up package.

Hope this helps.
