Hi, thanks for the help, all. So, the fm radio sounds just like my sony walkman... smile. Oh, I know this is a bit old fashioned, smile, but no A M tuner?
And, for those of you wondering about linux synth support, it's not official, but I managed to do the typical linux hackers thing, grin, and get it working using the accent SA driver... to a fashion. Speech interruption doesn't work, and changing speech parameters, for pitch, etc, doesn't work, but it does give you speech! on the bn, it's neet because you can interrrupt speech using the read with space, or backspace with enter (which ever model you have). And thanks for the brltty tip, but I already knew about that one, smile. Thanks, Arthur. --- On Fri 12/09, Dean Jackson < [EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote: From: Dean Jackson [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [email protected] Date: Sat, 10 Dec 2005 04:04:35 +1300 Subject: Re: [Braillenote] Keysoft7 questions Hello Arthur,<br><br>Currently, only KeyNote gold speech is available in the remote synthesizer <br>mode.
