README

This is the SpeechD-Up project. It was formerly a part of the Free(b)soft
project (http://www.freebsoft.org), and is intended to allow blind
and visually impaired people to work with computers and the Internet
based on free software.

SpeechD-Up provides an interface daemon between Speakup (kernel based
screen reader) and Speech Dispatcher (common interface to speech
synthesis), which is part of the Free(b)soft project.
. Using SpeechD-Up, you can make Speakup work with software
synthesizers like Flite or Festival.

To build and install speechd-up and all of it's components, read the file INSTALL
