This is the Speakup screen reader. Think of it as a
video console for blind people. If built in to the
kernel, it can speak everything on the text console from
boot up to shutdown. For more information on Speakup,
point your browser at <http://www.linux-speakup.org/>.
There is also a mailing list at the above url that you

Supported synthesizers are accent sa, accent pc,
appollo II., Auddapter, Braille 'n Speak, Dectalk
external (old), Dectalk PC (full length isa board),
Dectalk express, Doubletalk, Doubletalk LT or
Litetalk, Keynote Gold internal PC, software
synthesizers, Speakout, transport, and a dummy module
that can be used with a plain text terminal.

Speakup can either be built in or compiled as a module
by answering y or m. If you answer y here, then you
must answer either y or m to at least one of the
synthesizer drivers below. If you answer m here, then
the synthesizer drivers below can only be built as
modules.

These drivers are not standalone drivers, but must be
used in conjunction with Speakup. Think of them as
video cards for blind people.


The Dectalk pc driver can only be built as a module, and
requires software to be pre-loaded on to the card before
the module can be loaded. See the decpc choice below
for more details.

If you are not a blind person, or don't have access to
one of the listed synthesizers, you should say n.
