| This directory contains the BRLTTY speech driver for the SpeechDispatcher text | |
| to speech server [http://www.freebsoft.org/speechd]. It was implemented, and is | |
| being maintained, by Dave Mielke <dave@mielke.cc>. | |
| BRLTTY's configure script automatically includes this driver if Speech | |
| Dispatcher has been installed. The default is to check the directories /usr, | |
| /usr/local, /usr/local/speech-dispatcher, /usr/local/speechd, | |
| /opt/speech-dispatcher, and /opt/speechd. The actual location can be explicitly | |
| specified via --with-speechd. | |
| If this driver is built as a dynamically loaded shared object (the default), | |
| i.e. it isn't linked into BRLTTY's binary via --with-speech-driver, then the | |
| directory $SPEECHD_HOME/lib must be added to the colon-delimited list of | |
| directories in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable before BRLTTY is | |
| started because Speech Dispatcher's own shared objects don't contain run-time | |
| search paths for their internal dependencies. | |
| This driver recognizes the following parameters: | |
| Parameter Settings | |
| port 1-65535 | |
| module name (flite, festival, epos-generic, dtk-generic, ...) | |
| language two-letter language code | |
| voice type (male1, female1, male2, female2, male3, female3, | |
| child_male, child_female) |
