Hi,
IN short I do not have exact instructions for doing this, but the basic
outline looks like this.
You will need to install Espeak and install the Espeakup package.
Next you will probably need to disable the default audio manager.
You will also need to make sure your audio level is set to a high level to
make sure you can hear the speech.
If you have an old test laptop it would be best to test on this machine so
you are not messing around with your production machine at first.
IN addition it would be a good idea to save the kickstart file that was
generated when your machine was installed so you can reinstall the machine
from the media if needed with out having to answer all the questions.
All steps you will want to do from an ssh connection if you want to do these
steps from a machine with speech over the network.

In my case I use either my laptop with Debian with speech as a talking
console or a Raspberry Pi when I want to be really portable so that the
machines I am accessing do not have to be speech modified in any way.

Tom

Hi there -

 

I joined the CS meeting a little late the other day, and someone was talking
about compiling speakup just as I was joining, so I thought I would ask my
question here.

 

I am getting a workstation at work that will be running RHEL 7 or 8.  From
what I understand, speakup is not a package in yum, but it is now part of
the kernel staging tree.

 

Does anyone have instructions on how to get speakup installed and running on
RHEL 7 or 8 using software speech?

 

Any help appreciated, thank you very much in advance

 

--David
