Hi Daniel,
Thanks for offering to let me use your kernel. I will keep your message
and contact you if I decide to use Speakup in the future. I downloaded and
ok.
installed Voxin, and the readme file said there is a problem with Pulse Audio
What is voxin?
and Speech Dispatcher, so I will hold off on speakup for now. I am assuming
Well mine uses alsa and I don't have any problems.
So I guess its worth a try the only bad thing that will happen is you will
loose speech in your console.
Not orca.
And you can use a script I wrote to fix it. (It just saves you from typing
3 lines each time.)
I would need Speech Dispatcher to use Speakup with a software synth, let me
know if this is not correct.
Your correct, unless you use via voice.
Also, could you tell me which media player you are using under Linux?
command line: mplayer.
Graphical (in gnome): rythmbox and totem I believe its called.
Just search through the repos and try out stuff. Its free software,
install whatever you want.
For email, do you prefer Thunderbird or Evolution, or something else?
I personally still use the command line for email. So I use alpine and
procmail as my mta and fetchmail to get the mail.
I'm considering and have setup thunderbird, and quite like it so probably
thunderbird.
You could try both though, but give thunderbird ago, it works great for me.
Thanks,
Cheers,
