This directory contains the BRLTTY speech driver for the SpeechDispatcher text to speech server [http://www.freebsoft.org/speechd]. It was implemented, and is being maintained, by Dave Mielke . BRLTTY's configure script automatically includes this driver if Speech Dispatcher has been installed. The default is to check the directories /usr, /usr/local, /usr/local/speech-dispatcher, /usr/local/speechd, /opt/speech-dispatcher, and /opt/speechd. The actual location can be explicitly specified via --with-speechd. If this driver is built as a dynamically loaded shared object (the default), i.e. it isn't linked into BRLTTY's binary via --with-speech-driver, then the directory $SPEECHD_HOME/lib must be added to the colon-delimited list of directories in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable before BRLTTY is started because Speech Dispatcher's own shared objects don't contain run-time search paths for their internal dependencies. This driver recognizes the following parameters: Parameter Settings port 1-65535 module name (flite, festival, epos-generic, dtk-generic, ...) language two-letter language code voice type (male1, female1, male2, female2, male3, female3, child_male, child_female)
