need audio feedback for both USB and regular keyboards

[rberger]

Hi,  I' m looking for a way I can get some audio feedback from both the 
regular keyboard on my laptop and an external USB keyboard. The issue is 
hand finger dexterity due to CP.  The noisier the keyboard the better, 
in fact the Teletype 33 had one the best keyboard I've ever used, but 
that's a few decades ago.

Right now I'm just looking for a quick fix that just generates any noise 
when the key is pressed.  Later I'd like to look at unique key 
signatures and something for the key press and key release, as well as 
other things.

The laptop, currently is a IBM ThinkPad P III running Ubuntu 7.04, 
Feisty. Any suggestions?

Oh, and is there any way of just turning off the touch pad and switches 
so I can just use a USB mouse?

Speech issues in Gutsy?

[Al Puzzuoli]

Hi all, any updates as to the status of this?

I just ran test-speech on a gutsy box and received the following rather 
interesting error message:

***MEMORY-WARNING***: [18467]: GSlice: g_thread_init() must be called before all
other GLib functions; memory corruption due to late invocation of g_thread_init
() has been detected; this program is likely to crash, leak or unexpectedly 
abort soon... 

Thanks,
