| 15 | Supported synthesizers are accent sa, accent pc, |
| 16 | appollo II., Auddapter, Braille 'n Speak, Dectalk |
| 17 | external (old), Dectalk PC (full length isa board), |
| 18 | Dectalk express, Doubletalk, Doubletalk LT or |
| 19 | Litetalk, Keynote Gold internal PC, software |
| 20 | synthesizers, Speakout, transport, and a dummy module |
| 21 | that can be used with a plain text terminal. |
| 22 | |
| 23 | Speakup can either be built in or compiled as a module |
| 24 | by answering y or m. If you answer y here, then you |
| 25 | must answer either y or m to at least one of the |
| 26 | synthesizer drivers below. If you answer m here, then |
| 27 | the synthesizer drivers below can only be built as |
| 28 | modules. |
| 29 | |
| 30 | These drivers are not standalone drivers, but must be |
| 31 | used in conjunction with Speakup. Think of them as |
| 32 | video cards for blind people. |
| 33 | |
| 34 | |
| 35 | The Dectalk pc driver can only be built as a module, and |
| 36 | requires software to be pre-loaded on to the card before |
| 37 | the module can be loaded. See the decpc choice below |
| 38 | for more details. |
| 39 | |
| 40 | If you are not a blind person, or don't have access to |
| 41 | one of the listed synthesizers, you should say n. |
