Re: Wheezy images and speech
It would be a very simple matter to get the live CDs to have speech at boot. The Squeeze live CD already has the Speakup modules, so I'm assuming that Wheezy does as well. I haven't used the Wheezy live CD, but with Squeeze, it doesn't have the espeak and espeakup packages. Since Squeeze still supports hardware speech, that wasn't a problem for me. All that would need to happen to get Wheezy to have software speech is to install the above packages and set up an entry in the boot loader to load speech as D-I does now. It would be a fairly simple fix if I understand correctly. With Squeeze, just do the following after the CD boots: sudo modprobe speakup_ltlk On 1/28/2013 7:24 AM, Samuel Thibault wrote: Geoff Shang, le Mon 28 Jan 2013 16:57:34 +0200, a écrit : I also read about Debian Live and its rescue mode, and thought perhaps it might be a good substitute for GRML if it has speech support.

I completely agree. That still takes time to do, test, fix, document, make sure people keep it long-term, etc. Samuel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-accessibility-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Wheezy images and speech
Hello Geoff, Geoff Shang schrieb am 28.01.2013, 16:57 +0200: Given then that GRML is no longer an option, at least for now, and with the Wheezy release fast approaching, I took a look at the various boot images. But I'm a bit confused. The release notes say that we can just hit s and enter when booting the installation media, but it doesn't say if this is supported on all image types (e.g. netinst or something bigger), and it also IMHO it's supported on netinst and bigger. If business-card still exists, I think there you won't have accessibility features. doesn't say whether this will place you into a GUI or text environment during and after installation. Since this up to your choice, at least after the installation. During the installation, you will have a text environment. What you get afterwards depends on whether you select a Desktop. If you use the DVD with GNOME, an accessible Desktop will be set up. I also read about Debian Live and its rescue mode, and thought perhaps it might be a good substitute for GRML if it has speech support. But I was unable to discover if it does. I don't know, but I don't think so. Last time I tried the live system didn't have BRLTTY by default, so I stopped using it. I'm sure this is probably all written up somewhere, but a search of the Debian website was unable to turn it up.

All accessibility features of the installer are described in the installer manual, http://www.debian.org/releases/testing/installmanual It however doesn't say which images have it. I have just added that information to the development version, that should appear tomorrow in English on http://d-i.debian.org/manual/ “Support for software speech synthesis is available on all installer images whichhave the graphical installer, i.e. all netinst, CD and DVD images, and the netboot gtk variant.” and it also doesn't say whether this will place you into a GUI or text environment during and after installation. I've just added a note about it too: “The textual version of the installer will then be automatically selected, and support for software speech synthesis will be automatically installed on the target system.” Whether the installed system will use a GUI depends whether you request it during installation. I also read about Debian Live and its rescue mode, and thought perhaps it might be a good substitute for GRML if it has speech support. But I was unable to discover if it does.
