Re: IBM TTS espeak connector

["D.J.J. Ring, Jr." <n1ea@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Janina,

Will this module work in the console and drive IBM TTS?  That's what I'm looking for.  I guess the module I am looking for gets driven by speakup in the kernel then uses IBMTTS for a synthesizer.

I have IBMTTS working in gnome desktop using ORCA but I really love the Via Voice voices and it would be wonderful to have them working in console.

I find console much less confusing.
