Some problems using feisty dawn
Hello everyone, I have a problem with ubuntu 7.0 and braille display support. First of all, it seems that the daemon brltty is loaded 2 times during the startup stage. After that, every time that I'm going to modify /etc/brltty.conf, next restart I'll see that It didn't keep the changes that I made. At the end, I saw that brltty gave some startup errors. After all it seems to work correctly when it is started, but it doesn't work in orca screen reader. How can I solve these problems? Thanks in advance for all your support Best regards, Sauro No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

Hi all. It's a day or so that I've started to use unbuntu linux. I reside in Iran. Here nobody knows much about linux. I have one first question. Can we change the voice of unbuntu. I don't mean to change the language from english to something else, or changing the person's voice. I want to change the orca tts, from one manufacturer to another. and please somebody tell me of tested screen readers on unbuntu. And what is the name of the tts that orca uses by default? Note that I'm still using the live cd of ubuntu. So not a first question, my first three questions.-- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility

Re: New comer
Dear Hamid, Welcome to the world of open source, 1: yes it is possible to change the voice of Orca (the screenreader) If you are looking for a voice that sounds like eliquence then have a look here: http://voxin.oralux.net/ Some call it voxin, others call it IBM-tts. I beleave there is another eliquence equivalent voice, called ttsynth, but I couldnt locate its website. There are a few other voices, some free, others you have to pay a small amount for. 2: tested screenreaders? As you probably know everything in open source is always tested and revized/improved. If you wish to have a fully graphical destop (as you have in windows), then Orca is the screenreader for you. If you are happy with a command line and prefer this way of working then there is YASR, emacsspeak and a few other alternatives that I cant currently recall. 3: I believe the default Orca voice is espeak Further more, I would strongly advice you to try the latest Orca sourcecode that can be checked out from svn, because major improvements are made on a regular basis, and therefore the package that comes on the cd might be out-dated. The website of Orca is: http://live.gnome.org/Orca and the Orca mailing list is: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hope this has answered your initial questions. -Jon On Sat 29/09/2007 at 19:03:28, Hamid Vasheghani Farahani wrote: Hi all.

Problems encountered with gutsy and brltty
Hello everyone, I've just tried live cd of butsy with a supervario display and I still having the some problems that I had with ubuntu feisty. The brltty support starts twice and the second time I can read 1 startup problem and when I'll reach the graphical interface, orca screen reader doesn't work. I even made another test, I started the live cd without activating the accessibility support and the braille display was disconnected, after that I selected the text console With ctrl+alt+f1 and I connected the brialle display Because I'd like to start brltty manually, But I noticed that the support was already active. What does it depend of? I even saw that in this case, I didn't get the startup problem message. hope it will help to solve these problems. Thanks so much in advance for your support.
