SpeakUp in next Kernal

Hi all Having caught up with my reading I see that SpeakUp has been accepted into the current Release Candidate for the 2.6.37 kernal. A couple of questions. 1. Will this kernal be shipped in Ubuntu 11.04? 2. Will the module be available for use? 3. Does the SpeakUp module in the kernal diffe

Server Installations

Hi Luke I'm in the process of getting ready to set up my own hone file server. I know that the Live CD for the server does not come with any TTS packages, but once it's installed are there any packages in any of the Ubuntu repos that I can install to give me TTS on the Console? I have a vague re

Orca Preferences won't launch

ace is the equivalent of ctl-alt-del to the Xserver. Killing the Xserver like that is only done when you have no other option. Kenny On Thu, Nov 22, 2007 at 09:43:50PM -, Ian Pascoe wrote: > Hi All > > Ever since upgrading to Gutsy I haven't been able to launch the Orca >

Orca Preferences won't launch

Hi All Ever since upgrading to Gutsy I haven't been able to launch the Orca preferences using + Space Bar. When I do this I get the message "Orca Preferences launching - this may take some time" and the speech disappears, although the screen magnification remains running. I have tried launching

Upgrading to gutsy

Hi Upgraded from 6.10 to 7.04 using the update manager with no problems. Updated yesterday from 7.04 to 7.10 and this went through OK. However, Orca now no longer starts at boot up - no change in user details. Although I can get Orca up and running, when I press Insert and Space to get the Orca

Hi all In conjunction with the UK Ubuntu Loco Team, we are proposing to have a stand at this exhibition next year. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/IdeasPool/Sight_Village_2008 There is a lot of preparatory work that needs to be covered off. In particular are the construction of the "How To"

RE: Accessability in Edubuntu

Thanks to all who replied. However, and this may well be my fault, I'm looking at putting Edubuntu on a stand alone PC for use by my children, so the question of networking the resources is not necessary. However, the information exchange has proved useful and interesting. So to confirm, on a s

RE: 7.04

Hi Gramps Nice to see you're still part of the shooting match! All the various documents recommend that you upgrade through the previous versions, so I'm afraid you'll need to go Edgy - 6.10 - before Fiesty -7.0.4 Ian -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'll jump on this wagon too. My only requirement is an audible sound whilst the progress bar is incrementing and then an alarm / othre sound once the bar is complete. Whether that is spoken or sound I don't really mind. Ian -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PRO

Upgrading to Orca

Hi Folks I would like to upgrade my Orca v1.0 to v2.18 or the recently announced v2.19 I've read through the Orca page on this, and since I'm new to upgrading on Linux without using the Update Manager, I am a bit confused with the steps I need to go through to do this. I understand the following

FW: Voice Recognition for Linux

Hi Henrik / Eric Although I don't want to get embroilled in your discussions I have a question to ask on this. How does voice recognition work - does it use word parts as in a TTS engine like eSpeak but in reverse, or does it maintain a dictionary of actual words? I presume that the problems you

eSpeak and Edgy

Hi With all the positive comments about eSpeak that have recently been made I would like to give it a try. However, as a predominately Windows user I don't really have the confidence to do all the tweaking that seems to be necessary which is why I was happy to see Henrick's announcement that eSpe

Accessibility with System Admin Tools
