4config SPEAKUP
5	depends on VT
6	tristate "Speakup core"
7	help
8		This is the Speakup screen reader.  Think of it as a
9		video console for blind people.  If built in to the
10		kernel, it can speak everything on the text console from
11		boot up to shutdown.  For more information on Speakup,
12		point your browser at <http://www.linux-speakup.org/>.
13		There is also a mailing list at the above url that you
14		can subscribe to.
15
16		Supported synthesizers are accent sa, accent pc,
17		appollo II., Auddapter, Braille 'n Speak, Dectalk
18		external (old), Dectalk PC (full length isa board),
19		Dectalk express, Doubletalk, Doubletalk LT or
20		Litetalk, Keynote Gold internal PC, software
21		synthesizers, Speakout, transport, and a dummy module
22		that can be used with a plain text terminal.
23
24		Speakup can either be built in or compiled as a module
25		by answering y or m.  If you answer y here, then you
26		must answer either y or m to at least one of the
27		synthesizer drivers below.  If you answer m here, then
28		the synthesizer drivers below can only be built as
29		modules.
30
31		These drivers are not standalone drivers, but must be
32		used in conjunction with Speakup.  Think of them as
33		video cards for blind people.
34
35
36		The Dectalk pc driver can only be built as a module, and
37		requires software to be pre-loaded on to the card before
38		the module can be loaded.  See the decpc choice below
39		for more details.
40
41		If you are not a blind person, or don't have access to
42		one of the listed synthesizers, you should say n.

121		In order to use the DecTalk PC driver, you must download
122		the dec_pc.tgz file from linux-speakup.org.  It is in
123		the pub/linux/goodies directory.  The dec_pc.tgz file
124		contains the software which must be pre-loaded on to the
125		DecTalk PC board in order to use it with this driver.
126		This driver must be built as a module, and can not be
127		loaded until the file system is mounted and the DecTalk
128		PC software has been pre-loaded on to the board.
