[Freedos-user] re: blind user
Hi Rinaldo, there is the free mbrola tts software. The core engine is also available for DOS. The text to pronounciation software is available for DOS at least for Dutch, probably also for German. The voices work for all operating systems. But - you cannot run mbrola in the background in DOS. I suggest to use Linux for screenreader and tts. What kind of hardware do you have? You can run DOS in DOSEMU in Linux if you prefer the DOS user interface. What kind of screen reader do you have, by the way, serial port, printer port, usb, other? Eric Is there blind persons that are using freedos with a screenreader, if so I wish to know what is available and where can I find it, please indicate website and file name. Is there any tts soft speech in english, Italian, German and Dutch? If so where can I find it please. PS: You can mail me directly / off list if you need the URLs of particular files. --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

Re: [Freedos-user] Installation Problem
Same thing exactly going on here. Many others experiencing the same results. Something is wrong with sr #2. Try this, I haven't yet: Hi, it could be the case that the nlsfunc interaction is what crashes for you (nlsfunc/display/mode/devel-kernel). Try if it helps to skip loading nlsfunc (hit f8 at boot, then you are asked for each driver if it should be loaded). If that helps: Just remove nlsfunc from your config sys. Then chcp will no longer work, but you can still use display and mode to switch codepages manually. If it doesn't work, try to download sr#1. It works fine. Good Luck, JeffM.
