5 tristate "Speakup core"
7 This is the Speakup screen reader. Think of it as a
8 video console for blind people. If built in to the
9 kernel, it can speak everything on the text console from
10 boot up to shutdown. For more information on Speakup,
11 point your browser at <http://www.linux-speakup.org/>.

15 Supported synthesizers are accent sa, accent pc,
16 appollo II., Auddapter, Braille 'n Speak, Dectalk
17 external (old), Dectalk PC (full length isa board),
18 Dectalk express, Doubletalk, Doubletalk LT or
19 Litetalk, Keynote Gold internal PC, software
20 synthesizers, Speakout, transport, and a dummy module
21 that can be used with a plain text terminal.
23 Speakup can either be built in or compiled as a module
24 by answering y or m. If you answer y here, then you
25 must answer either y or m to at least one of the
26 synthesizer drivers below. If you answer m here, then
27 the synthesizer drivers below can only be built as
30 These drivers are not standalone drivers, but must be
31 used in conjunction with Speakup. Think of them as
32 video cards for blind people.
35 The Dectalk pc driver can only be built as a module, and
36 requires software to be pre-loaded on to the card before
37 the module can be loaded. See the decpc choice below
40 If you are not a blind person, or don't have access to
41 one of the listed synthesizers, you should say n.

115 In order to use the DecTalk PC driver, you must download
116 the dec_pc.tgz file from linux-speakup.org. It is in
117 the pub/linux/goodies directory. The dec_pc.tgz file
118 contains the software which must be pre-loaded on to the
119 DecTalk PC board in order to use it with this driver.
120 This driver must be built as a module, and can not be
121 loaded until the file system is mounted and the DecTalk
122 PC software has been pre-loaded on to the board.
124 See the README file in the dec_pc.tgz file for more
