What: /sys/accessibility/speakup/attrib_bleep

Description: Beeps the PC speaker when there is an attribute change such as
|
foreground or background color when using speakup review
|
commands. One = on, zero = off.
|
|
What: /sys/accessibility/speakup/bell_pos
|
KernelVersion: 2.6
|
Contact: speakup@linux-speakup.org
|
Description: This works much like a typewriter bell. If for example 72 is
|
echoed to bell_pos, it will beep the PC speaker when typing on
|
a line past character 72.

What: /sys/accessibility/speakup/cursor_time
|
KernelVersion: 2.6
|
Contact: speakup@linux-speakup.org
|
Description: This controls cursor delay when using arrow keys. When a
|
connection is very slow, with the default setting, when moving
|
with the arrows, or backspacing etc. speakup says the incorrect
|
characters. Set this to a higher value to adjust for the delay
|
and better synchronisation between cursor position and speech.

What: /sys/accessibility/speakup/keymap
|
KernelVersion: 2.6
|
Contact: speakup@linux-speakup.org
|
Description: Speakup keymap remaps keys to Speakup functions.
|
It uses a binary
|
format. A special program called genmap is needed to compile a
|
textual keymap into the binary format which is then loaded into
|
/sys/accessibility/speakup/keymap.

|
What: /sys/accessibility/speakup/no_interrupt
|
KernelVersion: 2.6
|
Contact: speakup@linux-speakup.org
|
Description: Controls if typing interrupts output from speakup. With
|
no_interrupt set to zero, typing on the keyboard will interrupt
|
speakup if for example
|
the say screen command is used before the
|
entire screen is read.
|
|
With no_interrupt set to one, if the say
|
screen command is used, and one then types on the keyboard,
|
speakup will continue to say the whole screen regardless until
|
it finishes.

What: /sys/accessibility/speakup/punc_all
|
KernelVersion: 2.6
|
Contact: speakup@linux-speakup.org

Description: This is a list of all the punctuation speakup should speak when

punc_level is set to four.
|
|
What: /sys/accessibility/speakup/punc_level
|
KernelVersion: 2.6
|
Contact: speakup@linux-speakup.org
|
Description: Controls the level of punctuation spoken as the screen is
|
displayed, not reviewed. Levels range from zero no punctuation,
|
to four, all punctuation. One corresponds to punc_some, two
|
corresponds to punc_most, and three as well as four both
|
correspond to punc_all. Some hardware synthesizers may have
|
different levels each corresponding to three and four for
|
punc_level. Also note that if punc_level is set to zero, and
|
key_echo is set to one, typed punctuation is still spoken as it
|
is typed.
|
|
What: /sys/accessibility/speakup/punc_most
|
KernelVersion: 2.6
|
Contact: speakup@linux-speakup.org

|
|
What: /sys/accessibility/speakup/reading_punc
|
KernelVersion: 2.6
|
Contact: speakup@linux-speakup.org
|
Description: Almost the same as punc_level, the differences being that
|
reading_punc controls the level of punctuation when reviewing
|
the screen with speakup's screen review commands. The other
|
difference is that reading_punc set to three speaks punc_all,
|
and reading_punc set to four speaks all punctuation, including
|
spaces.
|
|
What: /sys/accessibility/speakup/repeats
|
KernelVersion: 2.6
|
Contact: speakup@linux-speakup.org
|
Description: A list of characters speakup repeats. Normally, when there are
|
more than three characters in a row, speakup
|
just reads three of
|
those characters. For example, "......" would be read as dot,
|
dot, dot. If a . is added to the list of characters in repeats,
|
"......" would be read as dot, dot, dot, times six.
|
|
What: /sys/accessibility/speakup/say_control
|
KernelVersion: 2.6
|
Contact: speakup@linux-speakup.org

when speakup's say word
|
review command is pressed twice quickly to speak the current

word being reviewed. Zero just speaks the letters one after

another, while values one through four

a pause between the spelling of each letter by speakup.

What: /sys/accessibility/speakup/synth
|
KernelVersion: 2.6
|
Contact: speakup@linux-speakup.org
|
Description: Gets or sets the synthesizer driver currently in use. Reading
|
synth returns the synthesizer driver currently in use. Writing
|
synth switches to the given synthesizer driver, provided it is
|
either built into the kernel, or already loaded as a module.
|
|
What: /sys/accessibility/speakup/synth_direct
|
KernelVersion: 2.6
|
Contact: speakup@linux-speakup.org
|
Description: Sends whatever is written to synth_direct
|
directly to the speech synthesizer in use, bypassing speakup.
|
This could be used to make the synthesizer speak
|
a string, or to
|
send control sequences to the synthesizer to change how the

synthesizer behaves.
|

cannot be categorized. You will find messages such as "You

|
KernelVersion: 2.6
|
Contact: speakup@linux-speakup.org
|
Description: Here, you will find a list of names for Speakup functions.
|
These are used by the help system. For example, suppose that
|
you have activated help mode, and you pressed
|
keypad 3. Speakup
|
says: "keypad 3 is character, say next."
|
The message "character, say next" names a Speakup function, and
|
it comes from this function_names file.
|
|
What: /sys/accessibility/speakup/i18n/states
|
KernelVersion: 2.6
|
Contact: speakup@linux-speakup.org
|
Description: This file contains names for key states.
|
Again, these are part of the help system. For instance, if you
|
had pressed speakup + keypad 3, you would hear:
|
"speakup keypad 3 is go to bottom edge."
|
|
The speakup key is depressed, so the name of the key state is
|
speakup.
|
|
This part of the message comes from the states collection.

how Speakup pronounces a given character. You could, for
|
example, change how some punctuation characters are spoken. You
|
can even change how Speakup will pronounce certain letters. For

previous example, Speakup said that you pressed "keypad 3."

This name came from the key_names file.
|
|
What: /sys/accessibility/speakup/<synth-name>/
|
KernelVersion: 2.6
|
Contact: speakup@linux-speakup.org
|
Description: In `/sys/accessibility/speakup` is a directory corresponding to
|
the synthesizer driver currently in use (E.G) `soft` for the
|
soft driver. This directory contains files which control the
|
speech synthesizer itself,
|
as opposed to controlling the speakup
|
screen reader. The parameters in this directory have the same
|
names and functions across all
|
supported synthesizers. The range
|
of values for freq, pitch, rate, and vol is the same for all
|
supported synthesizers, with the given range being internally
|
mapped by the driver to more or less fit the range of values
|
supported for a given parameter by the individual synthesizer.
|
Below is a description of values and parameters for soft
|
synthesizer, which is currently the most commonly used.
|
|
What: /sys/accessibility/speakup/soft/caps_start
|
KernelVersion: 2.6
|
Contact: speakup@linux-speakup.org
|
Description: This is the string that is sent to the synthesizer to cause it
|
to start speaking uppercase letters. For the soft synthesizer
|
and most others, this causes the pitch of the voice to rise
|
above the currently set pitch.
|
|
What: /sys/accessibility/speakup/soft/caps_stop
|
KernelVersion: 2.6
|
Contact: speakup@linux-speakup.org
|
Description: This is the string sent to the synthesizer to cause it to stop
|
speaking uppercase letters. In the case of the soft synthesizer
|
and most others, this returns the pitch of the voice
|
down to the
|
currently set pitch.

|
synthesizer.
|
|
For example, speakup speaks ">" as "greater", while
|
the espeak synthesizer used by the soft driver speaks "greater
|
than". Zero lets speakup speak the punctuation. One lets the
|
synthesizer itself speak punctuation.
