Question about cat and echo

Hello,
I am trying to send text to a USB to serial adaptor and then to an external speech synthesizer. I tried using the cat and echo commands with no luck. I have gotten some audio output from my synthesizer using Kermit a terminal emulator, so I am pretty sure my synthesizer and my USB to serial adaptor and the adaptors driver are all working. I want to send text to my synthesizer using the cat and or echo command. So my question is do I need to set something up in order to send text to my synthesizer, with the cat or echo command, and have audio output from my synthesizer? btw I know about VoiceOver.

With that logic this echoes "echo". Question about echo!

echo `echo ` doesn't echoes anything. And it's logic. But echo `echo `echo ` ` does echoes "echo". What's the logic of it? the `echo `echo ` inside of the whole (first) echo, echoes nothing, so the first echo have to echo nothing but echoes "echo" (too much echoing :P):o (2 Replies)

NAME
espeakup -- connect Speakup to the ESpeak TTS engine SYNOPSIS
espeakup [ --default-voice=voicename ] [ --debug ] [ --help ] [ --version ] OPTIONS
-V voicename, --default-voice=voicename Set the espeak voice to be used by default. -d, --debug run in the foreground, rather than becoming a daemon process. -h, --help display a brief help message and exit. -v, --version output version information and exit. 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. SEE ALSO
