# SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 menu "Speakup console speech" config SPEAKUP depends on VT tristate "Speakup core" help 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 can subscribe to. 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. if SPEAKUP config SPEAKUP_SERIALIO def_bool y depends on ISA || COMPILE_TEST depends on HAS_IOPORT config SPEAKUP_SYNTH_ACNTSA tristate "Accent SA synthesizer support" help This is the Speakup driver for the Accent SA synthesizer.

You can say y to build it into the kernel, or m to build it as a module. See the configuration help on the Speakup choice above for more info. config SPEAKUP_SYNTH_DECEXT tristate "DECtalk External (old) synthesizer support" help This is the Speakup driver for the DecTalk External (old) synthesizer. You can say y to build it into the kernel, or m to build it as a module. See the configuration help on the Speakup choice above for more info. config SPEAKUP_SYNTH_DECPC depends on m depends on SPEAKUP_SERIALIO tristate "DECtalk PC (big ISA card) synthesizer support" help This is the Speakup driver for the DecTalk PC (full length ISA) synthesizer. You can say m to build it as a module. See the configuration help on the Speakup choice above for more info. In order to use the DecTalk PC driver, you must download the dec_pc.tgz file from linux-speakup.org. It is in the pub/linux/goodies directory. The dec_pc.tgz file contains the software which must be pre-loaded on to the DecTalk PC board in order to use it with this driver. This driver must be built as a module, and can not be loaded until the file system is mounted and the DecTalk PC software has been pre-loaded on to the board. See the README file in the dec_pc.tgz file for more details. config SPEAKUP_SYNTH_DTLK tristate "DoubleTalk PC synthesizer support" depends on SPEAKUP_SERIALIO help This is the Speakup driver for the internal DoubleTalk PC synthesizer. You can say y to build it into the kernel, or m to build it as a module. See the configuration help on the Speakup choice above for more info. config SPEAKUP_SYNTH_KEYPC tristate "Keynote Gold PC synthesizer support" depends on SPEAKUP_SERIALIO help This is the Speakup driver for the Keynote Gold PC synthesizer. You can say y to build it into the kernel, or m to build it as a module.

It will register a device /dev/softsynth which midware programs and speech daemons may open and read to provide kernel output to software synths such as espeak, festival, flite and so forth. You can select 'y' or 'm' to have it built-in to the kernel or loaded as a module. config SPEAKUP_SYNTH_SPKOUT tristate "Speak Out synthesizer support" help This is the Speakup driver for the Speakout synthesizer. You can say y to build it into the kernel, or m to build it as a module.
