espeakup connector
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
This is very early alpha software, so please keep that in mind if you
|
|
use this program.
|
|
|
|
espeakup is a program which makes it possible for speakup to use
|
|
the espeak software synthesizer. It does this by reading speakup's
|
|
softsynth device and passing the text to espeak which actually speaks.
|
|
|
|
Requirements
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
This program works with the speakup screen reader, which can be obtained
|
|
from http://linux-speakup.org, and the espeak software speech
|
|
synthesizer which can be obtained from http://espeak.sourceforge.net.
|
|
You must have both of these installed and operational. Setting them up
|
|
is beyond the scope of this document.
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
To install espeakup, first cd into the directory where you
|
|
unpacked the tarball, then issue make to compile the program. Once this
|
|
is done, as root, issue make install. This will install espeakup in /usr/bin.
|
|
|
|
Starting up
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
This program should be run after speakup is set up to communicate with a
|
|
software synthesizer and after /dev/softsynth exists. Currently it does
|
|
not accept any command line options, so invoke it as follows:
|
|
|
|
/usr/sbin/espeakup
|
