This is the Speakup screen reader. Think of it as a
|
video console for blind people. If built in to the
|
kernel, it can speak everything on the text console from
|
boot up to shutdown. For more information on Speakup,
|
point your browser at <http://www.linux-speakup.org/>.

Supported synthesizers are accent sa, accent pc,
|
appollo II., Auddapter, Braille 'n Speak, Dectalk
|
external (old), Dectalk PC (full length isa board),
|
Dectalk express, Doubletalk, Doubletalk LT or
|
Litetalk, Keynote Gold internal PC, software
|
synthesizers, Speakout, transport, and a dummy module
|
that can be used with a plain text terminal.
|
|
Speakup can either be built in or compiled as a module
|
by answering y or m. If you answer y here, then you
|
must answer either y or m to at least one of the
|
synthesizer drivers below. If you answer m here, then
|
the synthesizer drivers below can only be built as
|
modules.
|
|
These drivers are not standalone drivers, but must be
|
used in conjunction with Speakup. Think of them as
|
video cards for blind people.
|
|
|
The Dectalk pc driver can only be built as a module, and
|
requires software to be pre-loaded on to the card before
|
the module can be loaded. See the decpc choice below
|
for more details.
|
|
If you are not a blind person, or don't have access to
|
one of the listed synthesizers, you should say n.

|
In order to use the DecTalk PC driver, you must download
|
the dec_pc.tgz file from linux-speakup.org. It is in
|
the pub/linux/goodies directory. The dec_pc.tgz file
|
contains the software which must be pre-loaded on to the
|
DecTalk PC board in order to use it with this driver.
|
This driver must be built as a module, and can not be
|
loaded until the file system is mounted and the DecTalk
|
PC software has been pre-loaded on to the board.
