I'm using Orca on Ubuntu MATE. I want to use several terminal
applications because I'm unsatisfied with the desktop apps I currently
use.
Orca's terminal support sucks.
I've installed speakup, but it never runs when I switch to terminal.
Any suggestions for fixes I might try? Thanks.

Hi,
Do you use espeakup or speechd-up, or some hardware synthesizer?
If you use espeakup or speechd-up, kill all instances and start it from the
graphical terminal with sudo.
Then, switch to some text console and log in - you probably won't have speech
on the login prompt.

I'm trying to use speakup with espeakup.
Espeakup says: "Unable to open the soft synth device: no such file or
directory".
I thought I'd installed speakup, but typing it gives "command not found".
I just downloaded a speakup tarball (that took some digging). Running
the makefile produces two errors
Hi,
Speakup is a kernel module. Since you're using Ubuntu - it's probably
already available, so you don't need to install it separately.
Furthermore, it's no longer distributed as a separate package, but it's
included in the Linux Kernel itself, so you've probably downloaded
something very old.
If
> sudo modprobe speakup_soft
I got

Howdy,
speakup is an kernel module.
installing stuff from tarballs is not the best idea in case of kernel
modules i think.
you need to care about updating it by yourself. that sayd.
you cannot run speakup. it needs to be loaded into the kernel
"sudo modprobe speakup speakup_soft"
after doing th
I got the same error: could not insert 'speakup': key not available.
I'm on Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS.

Howdy,
seems that speakup is not installed on your system. in case of success
it should not give any output to you.
speakup lives in the "staging" area of the kernel. that means it is
considered to be unstable/ experimental. the result of this is that not
every linux distribution ships the spe

If you run ubuntu, speakup should already be in your kernel.
At your terminal in the GUI, do sudo su
then modprobe speakup_soft start=1
You should just get back to a prompt.
Then from your console, run espeakup
If it works, you can automate all of this.
Also make sure you have sound in the console
Hi,
What computer do you use? Searching for the error on the Internet brings plenty
of search results about problems with loading kernel modules in recent kernels
on computers with UEFI with Secure Boot enabled.
On one hand, that's strange, because speakup is included in the kernel and I

I still get the same "key not available" error. Does that mean for
certain that I'm still stuck with that acursed secure boot? The
sighted person who came over last said he turned it off. But then he's
the one who unintentionally deleted Windows...
Has anyone here had luck turning off secure boot
Howdy,
If speakup is making too much trouble you can try yasr or fenrir what you can
start without need to change something at the bios or kernel. Do you have GUI
access via orca to launch/install stuff?
Yasr:

Fenrir

may be useable though it's more than a screen reader.

Hi,
You still get the same error after you did what - reinstalling the kernel?
To check the state of Secure Boot, try:
sudo mokutil --sb-state
I don't have UEFI here, so I don't know if it'll ask you for a password just
for checking the state, but I guess not.
P. S. Although mokutil doesn't have
If you're still debugging, you might want to try isolating where y our
problem is. First step, imo, is to ascertain that espeak is installed
and working as expected.
