a text screen reader

[jose vilmar estacio de souza]

Hi all,
It is possible to install speakup in Karmic in a simple away.
Here is what I did if memory serves me.

sudo apt-get install espeakup
sudo apt-get install speakup-source
sudo m-a update
sudo m-a a-i speakup-source

To activate you must issue the following commands:
sudo modprobe speakup_soft
/etc/init.d/espaekup start

Now if all is OK, press ctrl+alt+f1 to switch to virtual console number 
1 and start to type. You should hear what you ar typing.

In my opinion very useful, to kill speech-dispatcher when orca stops and 
to upgrade the system, since sometimes gnome-terminal crashes aborting 
what we are doing.
