[orca-list] Speakup and Orca conflict sorted

[Brandt Steenkamp <brandt steenkamp gmail com>]

Hi everyone,


Here is a fix for speakup not working in the console.


I will be giving code for Debian based distros.


First, remove espeakup. Then install speechd-up, then write the script I 
give below and run at startup.


{code}:

$ sudo apt-get remove espeakup

$ sudo apt-get install speechd-up

$ sudo su

$ nano /usr/local/bin/speakup

#! /bin/bash

modprobe speakup_soft start=1
speechd-up -t
[save and exit]

$sudo chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/speakup

{End Code}


After rebooting, run.

{code}

$sudo speakup

{End code}


I hope this helps someone.


Warm regards
