[BRLTTY] Screen reader for mac

[james collins]

i primarily want to use brltty in my terminal application on my mac. i  
don't need speech for applications on my mac, when you say  
applications do you mean like itunes? i really don't want to have  
speech other than in terminal. i really wanted to use my doubletalk, i  
did buy a usb to serial adaptor cable, are you telling me that brllty  
wouldn't work with my doubletalk? i couldn't get yasr to work with my  
doubletalk, yet. Some things i would like to do are to get my computer  
to speak spanish, like i would give an ls command and my doubletalk  
would say file and folder names in spanish. i did read on  
documentation that i got with the doubletalk that you can actually  
program the synthesizer tone generators, i like music and programming  
and i thought it would be neat to try and create tones. I figure  
before i can do any of these advanced tasks (atleast to me they are  
advanced) i need to be able to get my doubletalk working with my  
computer.

at had written that i have yasr. i just wanted to explain a little  
about that. i installed yasr on my computer and installation seemed to  
go well. i edited the configuration file yasr.conf. i commented out  
certain things like the speech synthesizer, i am using a doubletalk so  
where it said the list of synthesizers, i uncommented the doubletalk  
and commented all the other synthesizer options. i then chose s0 as my  
serial port. you said that you don't think my doubletalk will work  
with a speech program using usb-serial, i am wondering why? like i  
called the company that made my usb to serial port adaptor, like one  
thing they mentioned was a driver, but i don't think i need one.  
another person told me about the communication parameters like i think  
my speech synthesizer is 9600 baud 8 n 1, and i wondered do i have to  
set this on my computer. i think i was told that the screen reader  
program took care of this for me. like the yasr program would take  
care of the communication parameters, but i am not sure. any help  
would be appreciated.
