Are you using an external sound card with your pie for the voice? It’s
generallybest d=to do this because it has a better performance profile for the
external sound card rendering the speech. Just a suggestion.

Hi everyone. First its a slight correction in my last email. And no one has
asked. But I want to assure people it wasn't this list where I ended up being
bashed rather badly.
Honestly I think I know what list it was. It was a long time ago in any case.
And I personally believe the people who did the hurting were confusing me
with someone else. Although I can't prove it. Its one reason I don't include
my last name on lists. To lessen things from happening again hopefully.
About fenrir. I could not get the package in raspbian to work at all. I am
not that much of a programmer yet to try to figure out the problem there.
I had the same issue on debian when I tried installing it there as well.
So on raspbian I decided to find the homepage and get the stable and
experimental code. Both worked. However.
The speech was really scratchy. And yes I could press control to silence
speech but the lag was conparable to just finishing to listen to the stuff
being read to me using espeakup.
So in brief. I don't know what I am going to do. I am keeping the fenrir
experimental version on here and testing it as I go.
Maybe I can change a setting or something that will help with the speech.
The speech is really static sounding. And it sounds like two espeaks are
running or something.
I don't know how to describe it except for that.
It does work though. And I am not done giving it a good trial.
In replying to your posts. I am using edbrowse for my email. It works very
nicely. But I still don't know how to reply to the list.
The list email doesn't come up when I hit both commands to try to reply to
you via the list. So maybe I just have to set up an alias or something.
That isn't your issue though. I really do like edbrowse for a number of
reasons however.
I use it more and more.
www.edbrowse.org if you want to read about it.
Also. stormux. I don't think I can try it as I don't have a raspberry pi 4
and at this time have no intentions on getting one.
Another thing I love about the PI is that I can simply put an OS on a micro
SD card. Slide it in the slot and switch OS's on the fly as needed.
Really awesome.
I think I read you can use a usb thumb drive too. But for me I prefer the
micro sd cards. As long as your really careful with them you don't loose them.
I do want to play around with freebsd. The problem is I can't seem to get the
wifi adapters running under there. So currently I need to connect via
ethernet to ssh into it.
The problem is. I live upstairs and the router is downstairs. They tell me
they can't or won't drill a hole to run a network ethernet cable. And I can't
really blame them.
That having been said. I can't leave a PI down there even if I got another
one for this purpose simply because there are currently no plugs to plug it
in and run an ethernet cable safely without people tripping over it.
So I am thinking freebsd is going to have to wait till I have my own place
with my own internet router.
I read differeing views on whether brltty works with freebsd or not. On the
brltty info page it says it does.
But trying to figure out how to get it working seems to be nonexistent. If I
could temporarily ssh into the raspberry pi in freebsd and ssh and set up
brltty that way. But I have no clue how to do so. Then I could use the
braille display with freebsd and forget the ssh need.
Just rambling.
