talkwith - script to easily switch speakup speech synthesizer
SYNOPSIS
talkwith synth daemon [options ...]
DESCRIPTION
talkwith is a script which makes switching speech synthesizers in speakup very simple.
The options are as follows:
synth - any synthesizer supported by speakup
daemon - for the 'soft' synthesizer, this should be either spd for speechd-up, or espeakup to run espeakup. For the other synthesizers,
this is ignored.
options - for a software synthesizer, the rest of the command line is passed on to the daemon; otherwise it is ignored.
Talkwith does not install or remove modules, so make sure any required driver modules are installed or built into the kernel before running
talkwith.

DESCRIPTION
Espeakup bridges the gap between two tools: the Speakup screen review system and the ESppeak text-to-speech engine. Each of these tools
performs a well-defined task. Speakup is a kernel-based screen reader for the Linux console. It extracts and processes the text that is
displayed on the foreground virtual console. It supports several hardware based speech synthesizers directly. However, since it is in
kernel space, it cannot support a software speech synthesizer directly since these are in user space. ESpeak is a popular software speech
synthesizer. It is small, light weight, very responsive, and supports multiple languages. Espeakup is a connector which will read text
sent to it by speakup and forward it to ESpeak. This allows Speakup to use ESpeak as its speech synthesizer.
Espeakup is a daemon. Typically, it is started at boot time, and it terminates when the system is halted or rebooted. It should be
started by the system's init scripts. This process varies among Linux distributions, but the details are usually managed by the person who
packaged Espeakup for your distribution. From the perspective of an average user, Espeakup's operation is invisible.
BUGS
Espeakup is still classified as alpha software. Bugs are periodically found and fixed. If you find a bug, please do report it to the
author. You might also consider mentioning it on the mailing list for the Speakup screenreader. Visit
http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup to learn more about the mailing list.
