[BRLTTY] Problem with speech.c

[Christopher Gray]

Hi Dave:

Yes, ttsynth uses IBM's viavoice.  It is available from Capital Accessibility. 
If you're agreeable, I'll write Janina a note and I feel certain she'd work with 
you to resolve the problem.  It's not free, however.  $40.00, US.

I have 3.8 working now in a terminal window.  However, when I go to a 
full-screen session, alt+ctrl+f7 in Ubuntu, I get the message "not in text 
mode".  Is their a cure for this?

Chris
