I'm using SBL under a 4.7.9 kernel, so it's apparent that whatever
document mentions 2.2 is very out of date.

I had a quick look at the sources for that the other day, and I actually
think it now uses the kernel's input event sys
/uinput
Which reminds me, that you have to load the uinput kernel module, if you don't
have it loaded already:
sudo modprobe uinput
Both kbdsniffd and sbl should be run as root or with sudo.
kbdsniffd should be already running before you start sbl.

Hi,
Ok, the name of the synth should actually be the name of the module,
wich is speechd for speech-dispatcher.
You can also set it in /etc/sbl.conf
The language could be set in /etc/sbl/spk/speechd

Hi,
I've downloaded the sources here, both sbl and kbdsniffd, and managed to
compile them.
It seems it's working as far as the log file says.
I see that there's --speech option, to set the speech syntesizer to use, which
defaults to none.
I tried espeak, but no luck here.
What sho
Okay, since I've always used SBL with a keyboard and have never had
luck switching out a Knoppix custom kernel for a Vanilla Debian
kernel, I'm guessing the problem is that the Knoppix kernel has the
keyboard sniffing patch and the Debian kernel doesn't.
Obviously, this raises t
an use any speech synth which is supported by speech-dispatcher, so
also espeak or espeak-ng.

Thats right if you want to
ad. I didn't see a way in my quick reading of the docs to use newer
kernels.
3. The last git commit was from 2013. I'm a little concerned when I see
things like "not tested."
