Apollo 2+Screader

[Massimiliano Perantoni <massimiliano perantoni bigfoot com>]

Hi there and best wishes for the past christmas.
Actually I'm a read only user for many reasons, and one is that I got a surplus
of mail everyday, so can't read that much and answer. I have an interesting
situation where a friend of mine has got Apollo 2 synthesizer and would like lo
learn using Linux, while she already accesses Unix Boxes through the
unconvenient use of OutSpoken telnetting to Unix from a windoze
machine naturally (bleargh). My problems have been, basically, the total
unfriendliness to me of emacspeak and its lack of stability, but it may depend
from my fault, I just used it for few hours, so I may be in fault. Actually I'm
trying to use the good enought screader to improve it but, before doing it, I
would like to know if somebody already has used Apollo 2 with it successfully,
where successfully means that he can stop voice from speaking wherever he is,
increase voice speed and pitch etc... etc...
If not, how many of you may be interested in using it to help me in testing? I
already got a tester near (?) home, and she will surely help me in it, but
would like to have more help.

Best Wishes, Massimiliano Perantoni
