Since its been 2 years since the last response in eldy and the project appears amazing yet dead how do i use this code you created i tried copying to a noob.sh into my startup folder in puppy and tried noob.rc but both gave an error of invalid file i am completely a linux retard but trying to setup something for my mother so she can see the pc again easier now that her vision is impaired and that text to speach thing from microsoft is just so annoying and useless.

You should just need to put it in a file (doesn't necessarily need a .sh extension, although .rc would be strange) and change the permissions to make it executable.
What do you mean by "gave an error"? Did you see the error in a terminal or in some window which popped up?
