Hi all.
First thanks for those who responded. I am playing around with edbrowse and I
still have lots to learn how to reply with emails with it etc.
I really like edbrowse for a number of reasons.
But anyway.
Regarding soldering. Thanks for the confidence in stating it could be done. I
guess I just feel that might be a bit dangerous.
I have come across the comments about bread boards. So I will look into that
too thanks.
Compiling espeak from source. I suppose I could do that yes. At some point. I
do know how to compile software.
Its just been like oh my. Twenty years since I did so on a regular basis.
I compiled linux from scratch several times back then. I guess I am hesitating
simply because I have to relearn lost things through the years.
Travis how I got it to work. Honestly I don't recall. I think I just followed
what I always do on archlinux.
arch its pacman -S espeakup alsa-utils brltty
on raspbian and debian its apt install brltty espeakup alsa-utils
At least I believe that is how I did it. Its so weird. I can't remember.
I of course did it from ssh. Then I rebooted the pi. And it came up braille
display happily chirping away dots going up and down. And espeakup happily
talking.
I don't have mate/orca on here yet. Mainly because I don't know where to begin.
I never had luck installing GUI's except on archlinux and even then it was hit
or miss.
But I am not a GUI person anyway.
Rich. Yes the fan is a very nice audio queue. I had it on pins 1 and 6 for a
bit. That was quieter. But I didn't like it set there so I put the pins back to
the 4 6 pin option.
I really have a lot to learn. I love the PI though because you can like well as
I have been telling my fb friends. The sky is the limit even as a blind person.
There are no limits.
BTW. I tend to be
1. Long winded. So please if that bothers you my hugest apologies.
2. Hesitant on sharing my computer experiences. As I shared once and got a huge
backlash from people on the list. I guess they thought I was bragging or
something. So I hesitate to share all my experience.
I am a Technician Ham Radio Operator as well. So I was thinking maybe of doing
some radio projects once more comfortable.
If espeak-ng isn't to hard to compile. I might go ahead and aat least try it.
See if it helps anyway.
Thanks.
Jessica
