I think I'll wait until portaudio update becomes available then try building emacspeak-git again and see if I have better results. On Wed, 5 Oct 2016, Jude DaShiell wrote: Date: Wed, 5 Oct 2016 11:06:30 From: Jude DaShiell Reply-To: Linux for blind general discussion To: Linux for blind gene

I got a typescript file of about 340 lines before I clean it up and it appears py.elc and emacspeak no longer like each other. This is emacspeak-git I'm building on talingarchlinux for any interested parties. I do not yet know if warnings got thrown before this error but the english message w

Following up on my own post, there's also a bug on Arch Linux right now which affects espeak. It isn't an espeak bug; it's actually a bug in Portaudio. If you use Speakup, you've hopefully been following the discussion of it over on the Speakup list. Anyway, until the portaudio package is fixed,

Understand, I don't operate in a multilingual environment. That out of the way, a DTK_PROG variable needs proper setting in a .bashrc file and a line needs to be put near the top of an .emacs file to get emacspeak working. To run emacspeak once all of this gets done, you'll just run emacs. Y

The last time I built emacspeak with eflite and had it working the prerequisites turned out to be flite and speech-tools packages. That may have changed by now since I did that I think 4 years ago. On Wed, 5 Oct 2016, Devin Prater wrote: Date: Wed, 5 Oct 2016 08:11:38 From: Devin Prater Rep

The emacspeak espeak support is depressingly fiddly to get working, but it is well worth doing. I keep hearing this, so I am expecting it will indeed be a huge pain. Once it works though, I hope it is not something that breaks all the time. Also, I hope it gives equivalent performance to wha

Espeak support is "unmaintained", so it could break with any new release of eSpeak that may come along. There is an Eflite server, if you can get it working, that links flite with Emacspeak. Sent from my iPhone On Oct 4, 2016, at 8:07 PM, Sam Hartman wrote: >> "Fernando" == Fernando Bote
