Hi,
The unstable version I am talking about is the stock Debian that the Pi's
version of Linux is based off of.
If your code works differently than the standard Speakup code then maybe it
doesn't suffer from the instability issues I have seen in the version 9 of
Debian that I have seen on the desktop.

Hello
If you have tried to run SpeakUp without my audio code it will crash.
For the reasons detailed in the podcast I linked to in a previous email.
The Pi Foundation play no attention to accessibility at all. So QA will
not have included running SpeakUP with eSpeak. Nor has it ever.
Nor do the Pi Foundation pay any lip-service to Open Source. Preferring
to continue the myth that 'Pixel' is an operating system and not just an
LXDE theme on top of Linux.

You may want to hold off on this update for a bit.
I ran the newest Debian on my desktop system and the speech engine crashes at
random with software speech.
I don't think the QA was all that good when it comes to testing the
reliability of speech.

Subject: [raspberry-vi] Still Jessie
Hello
I just took a look at the downloads page of the Pi Foundation and they
are still on Jessie. But there is a version dated July this year.
So I will try to update the image on our site to this new image.
Again it will rely on USB audio for the desktop speech and on my OMX
code for the console.
