iw2evk,

sorry about that...in order to compile dsd I first had to compile the mbelib library...but forgot to bundle it!

I've reuploaded in the first post.

(Oddly, it was downloaded 19 times, but you were the only one to let me know it wasn't working.)

Along the same lines, is there a text2speech utility available for Puppy?
One could drop a text file on the icon for it and have the file spoken.
Or sending clipboard text to it.

Hello iw2evk,

Can you copy&paste the errors you get if you run dsd in a console?

I'm currently running in ram, installed the pet above, and it definitely runs, and has the mbelib installed.

8-bit,

regarding a text reader espeak springs to mind. I see ariel has gEread here, which has clipboard ability.

iw2evk,

I know nothing about the actual usage of the program...apart from the what I can see from the output of the -help parameter above. When you run dsd what commandline options are you passing? What port is you're scanner connected to?

Hi,

for use dsd i connect the audio output from transceiver to input of sound blaster.Then run simply dsd without argoment (auto scanning).The program try all the mode .if a recognized mode it's detected starting the decoding and audio it's sended to pc speacker decoded.
In attachment a simple user manual for win version (but command and usage it's the same of linux version)

a simple tutorial fo r win version(withsame commands and argoment of linux version)

iw2evk,

I'll have to bail out here...I know next to nothing about discriminator taps, nor connecting "audio output from transceiver to input of sound blaster."

If you google linux "digital speech decoder", you'll find plenty of threads where people are trying to resolve the same issues you're having. Like here & here. One thread states it doesn't work with realtek cards, the other that your device needs to be in "Analog Stereo Duplex" mode...maybe some audiophile/wireless puppian might happen along to help.
