MD5 is 2df2facef90bb1bb31caf55e755428a1 speak-pup.iso
Specifics:
Operating System......................................................................Puppy 2.17
Speech Server............................................................................FreeTTS
Screen Reader............................................................................YASR
Text Editer..................................................................................MP
Intrnet Browser...........................................................................Elinks
IRC Chat.....................................................................................Irssi
File Manager...............................................................................Ytree
Audio...........................................................................................MPG321
Soft Brailler.................................................................................Brltty
ISO size is 148 megabytes.
Speak-pup will load to a simple menu, from which you can opt to:
read your mail
Create a text file
Access the Internet
Chat using IRC
Manage your files
Reboot
Power off
While you are doing that Speak-pup will read, to you, what is on the screen. You can use your computer's speakers, or a headset. I prefer a headset myself as it's easier to undertand.
The ISO has all the Gui and stuff that came intalled in Puppy 2.17. It does not run the GUI for the simple reason that I deleted the 'X" symlink in /usr/X11R7/bin, so /etc/profile cannot find it. The symlink is still there, renamed Xcop. You can, if you wish, go to /usr/X11R7/bin and copy Xcop to X, reboot and set up the windowing system. However FreeTTS and YASR are command line programs, and will not work with the GUI operating. But it might come in handy when working on the OS.
If you do want to make changes, ue MP, the text editer, to open /etc/profile. Got down to the bottom of the script and comment out the very last line "exec /root/menu.sh." Reboot and you will be at the commnd line. I would suggest you do this even if you intend to use the GUI. Otherwise, if you use a terminal, you'll be presented with the menu.
I don't know if Brltty is operatng correctly, or even at all. It supposedly supports a soft brailler but I don't have one to test it on.
Speak-pup is very much a work in progress but I need spme input on where to go with it.
