I followed Peters instructions and it works fine here with no
errors. I'm using speech-dispatcher from git and using pulse
audio.

Howdy,
Has this project been abandoned? The last date I can find with the
project is 2002. I have made a PKGBUILD that works to install it.
I can not find any license info though, I assume gpl2?
I can not get it to speek. I get errors when it tries to connect
to speech-dispatcher:

It seems to be a pretty neat concept, but the speech interface
needs some work. Would it be worth forking this project to sort of
modernize it? Peter, I remember you wrote an espeak interface for
Orca a while back, could you do the same for YASR? That would
solve pretty much all the speech issues pretty affectively if so.
My PKGBUILD isn't quite ready for the AUR yet, I need to do a few
more things like find out which license it uses, and possibly
write a systemd file for people who want to enable it at boot.
Oh, and, isn't there another console reader called Jupitor or
something? Anyone got that installed in Arch, is it decent/more up
to date?
Thanks

Hello,
Some quick steps describing how I am running YASR on Arch linux.
To clone and build yasr from git...
git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/yasr/git yasr
cd yasr
rm missing
autoreconf -i
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc
--localstatedir=/var
make
I like the fact yasr is portable thus it is not necessary to
install it.
You will get a binary at ./yasr/yasr
Don't run it, prepare your personal config file first.
cp yasr.conf ~/.yasr.conf
And edit the file so yasr will talk to speech-dispatcher.
These lines have to be present and other similar other synth
specific ones have to be commented out:
synthesizer=speech dispatcher
synthesizer port=127.0.0.1:6560
Now start speech-dispatcher if it's not running e.g. by running
spd-say "hello world"
Now run a socat command in background that will listen on the IP
/ port you have configured in ~/.yasr.conf and redirect it to
the user specific speechd unix socket (thx Zahary for this tip):
socat -d -d TCP-LISTEN:6560,fork UNIX:/run/user/`id
-u`/speech-dispatcher/speechd.sock &
And you should get yasr talking. Nice thing is that it handles
UTF-8 in terminal as it should, it is super responsive and if
you are crazy, you can even run it within gnome terminal or
other graphical terminal emulator.
I know this should be packaged more nicelly and patched to
dirrectly connect to speech-dispatcher. I have only started
using it recently and I don't yet know how to do it, so perhaps
I'll try to find a better way in the future.
We have recently discussed it in slightly more details in the
Sonar GNU linux support list with Kendel if you wish to look it
up.
Greetings
Peter

Reading Peter's recommendation for an accessible raspberryPi
setup I was re-reminded of yasr.
For those who have not heard of it, yasr is an old
screenreader that worked, and hopefully with a bit of tlc
still works both in consoles and in terminal emulators, e.g.
gnome-terminal or lxterminal.
It stopped working out of the box after Ubuntu 10.04 in that
distro, not sure about others.
Recently I heard a guy got it to work pretty well on apple
computers' consoles, (or wopuld that be terminal emulator
windows?/sorry, no Mac experience here).
Anyway, I want to give it a try on one or more distros now.
Any experiences, tips or tricks that could save me from having
to reinvent the wheel as it were would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your help.
