Thanks John. I've never used GRML. This does look really useful. Will give this a spin in VMware, using software speech. Cheers Chris -----Original Message----- From: John G.

Heim <jheim@math.wisc.edu> Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] GRML for Speakup With the help of someone on the GRML list, I created a script that can modify a standard GRML image for a particular hardware synth. If you use this script, you can create a GRML image that comes up talking via your hardware synth. It can also create an image that speaks via software speech without having to type in the commands after it boots. GRML is a Debian fork designed for use by people who like the command line. It is useful as a rescue system. You can activate speakup after it bootsbut with my script, you don't have to type anything. I pre-built images for the LiteTalk and for software speech. These images and the script can be found here: https://people.math.wisc.edu/~jheim/GRML/ _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list -- blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org To unsubscribe send an email to blind-sysadmins-leave@lists.hodgsonfamily.org
