What: /sys/accessibility/speakup/attrib_bleep
KernelVersion: 2.6
Contact: [email protected]
Description: Beeps the PC speaker when there is an attribute change such as
foreground or background color when using speakup review
commands. One = on, zero = off.
What: /sys/accessibility/speakup/bell_pos
KernelVersion: 2.6
Contact: [email protected]
Description: This works much like a typewriter bell. If for example 72 is
echoed to bell_pos, it will beep the PC speaker when typing on
a line past character 72.
What: /sys/accessibility/speakup/bleeps
KernelVersion: 2.6
Contact: [email protected]
Description: This controls whether one hears beeps through the PC speaker
when using speakup's review commands.
TODO: what values does it accept?
What: /sys/accessibility/speakup/bleep_time
KernelVersion: 2.6
Contact: [email protected]
Description: This controls the duration of the PC speaker beeps speakup
produces.
TODO: What are the units? Jiffies?
What: /sys/accessibility/speakup/cursor_time
KernelVersion: 2.6
Contact: [email protected]
Description: This controls cursor delay when using arrow keys. When a
connection is very slow, with the default setting, when moving
with the arrows, or backspacing etc. speakup says the incorrect
characters. Set this to a higher value to adjust for the delay
and better synchronisation between cursor position and speech.
What: /sys/accessibility/speakup/cur_phonetic
KernelVersion: 6.2
Contact: [email protected]
Description: This allows speakup to speak letters phoneticaly when arrowing through
a word letter by letter. This doesn't affect the spelling when typing
the characters. When cur_phonetic=1, speakup will speak characters
phoneticaly when arrowing over a letter. When cur_phonetic=0, speakup
will speak letters as normally.
What: /sys/accessibility/speakup/delimiters
KernelVersion: 2.6
Contact: [email protected]
Description: Delimit a word from speakup.
TODO: add more info

Description: TODO:
What: /sys/accessibility/speakup/key_echo
KernelVersion: 2.6
Contact: [email protected]
Description: Controls if speakup speaks keys when they are typed. One = on,
zero = off or don't echo keys.
What: /sys/accessibility/speakup/keymap
KernelVersion: 2.6
Contact: [email protected]
Description: Speakup keymap remaps keys to Speakup functions.
It uses a binary
format. A special program called genmap is needed to compile a
textual keymap into the binary format which is then loaded into
/sys/accessibility/speakup/keymap.
What: /sys/accessibility/speakup/no_interrupt
KernelVersion: 2.6
Contact: [email protected]
Description: Controls if typing interrupts output from speakup. With
no_interrupt set to zero, typing on the keyboard will interrupt
speakup if for example
the say screen command is used before the
entire screen is read.
With no_interrupt set to one, if the say
screen command is used, and one then types on the keyboard,
speakup will continue to say the whole screen regardless until
it finishes.
What: /sys/accessibility/speakup/punc_all
KernelVersion: 2.6
Contact: [email protected]
Description: This is a list of all the punctuation speakup should speak when
punc_level is set to four.
What: /sys/accessibility/speakup/punc_level
KernelVersion: 2.6
Contact: [email protected]
Description: Controls the level of punctuation spoken as the screen is
displayed, not reviewed. Levels range from zero no punctuation,
to four, all punctuation. One corresponds to punc_some, two
corresponds to punc_most, and three as well as four both
correspond to punc_all. Some hardware synthesizers may have
different levels each corresponding to three and four for
punc_level. Also note that if punc_level is set to zero, and
key_echo is set to one, typed punctuation is still spoken as it
is typed.
What: /sys/accessibility/speakup/punc_most
KernelVersion: 2.6
Contact: [email protected]
Description: This is a list of all the punctuation speakup should speak when
punc_level is set to two.
What: /sys/accessibility/speakup/punc_some
KernelVersion: 2.6
Contact: [email protected]
Description: This is a list of all the punctuation speakup should speak when
punc_level is set to one.
What: /sys/accessibility/speakup/reading_punc
KernelVersion: 2.6
Contact: [email protected]
Description: Almost the same as punc_level, the differences being that
reading_punc controls the level of punctuation when reviewing
the screen with speakup's screen review commands. The other
difference is that reading_punc set to three speaks punc_all,
and reading_punc set to four speaks all punctuation, including
spaces.
What: /sys/accessibility/speakup/repeats
KernelVersion: 2.6
Contact: [email protected]
Description: A list of characters speakup repeats. Normally, when there are
more than three characters in a row, speakup
just reads three of
those characters. For example, "......" would be read as dot,
dot, dot. If a . is added to the list of characters in repeats,
"......" would be read as dot, dot, dot, times six.
What: /sys/accessibility/speakup/say_control
KernelVersion: 2.6
Contact: [email protected]
Description: If set to one, speakup speaks shift, alt and control when those
keys are pressed. If say_control is set to zero, shift, ctrl,
and alt are not spoken when they are pressed.
What: /sys/accessibility/speakup/say_word_ctl

Description: TODO:
What: /sys/accessibility/speakup/spell_delay
KernelVersion: 2.6
Contact: [email protected]
Description: This controls how fast a word is spelled
when speakup's say word
review command is pressed twice quickly to speak the current
word being reviewed. Zero just speaks the letters one after
another, while values one through four
seem to introduce more of
a pause between the spelling of each letter by speakup.
What: /sys/accessibility/speakup/synth
KernelVersion: 2.6
Contact: [email protected]
Description: Gets or sets the synthesizer driver currently in use. Reading
synth returns the synthesizer driver currently in use. Writing
synth switches to the given synthesizer driver, provided it is
either built into the kernel, or already loaded as a module.
What: /sys/accessibility/speakup/synth_direct
KernelVersion: 2.6
Contact: [email protected]
Description: Sends whatever is written to synth_direct
directly to the speech synthesizer in use, bypassing speakup.
This could be used to make the synthesizer speak
a string, or to
send control sequences to the synthesizer to change how the
synthesizer behaves.
What: /sys/accessibility/speakup/version
KernelVersion: 2.6
Contact: [email protected]
Description: Reading version returns the version of speakup, and the version
of the synthesizer driver currently in use.
What: /sys/accessibility/speakup/i18n/announcements
KernelVersion: 2.6
Contact: [email protected]
Description: This file contains various general announcements, most of which
cannot be categorized. You will find messages such as "You
killed Speakup", "I'm alive", "leaving help", "parked",
"unparked", and others. You will also find the names of the
screen edges and cursor tracking modes here.
What: /sys/accessibility/speakup/i18n/chartab
KernelVersion: 2.6
Contact: [email protected]
Description: TODO
What: /sys/accessibility/speakup/i18n/ctl_keys
KernelVersion: 2.6
Contact: [email protected]
Description: Here, you will find names of control keys. These are used with
Speakup's say_control feature.
What: /sys/accessibility/speakup/i18n/function_names
KernelVersion: 2.6
Contact: [email protected]
Description: Here, you will find a list of names for Speakup functions.
These are used by the help system. For example, suppose that
you have activated help mode, and you pressed
keypad 3. Speakup
says: "keypad 3 is character, say next."
The message "character, say next" names a Speakup function, and
it comes from this function_names file.
What: /sys/accessibility/speakup/i18n/states
KernelVersion: 2.6
Contact: [email protected]
Description: This file contains names for key states.
Again, these are part of the help system. For instance, if you
had pressed speakup + keypad 3, you would hear:
"speakup keypad 3 is go to bottom edge."
The speakup key is depressed, so the name of the key state is
speakup.
This part of the message comes from the states collection.
What: /sys/accessibility/speakup/i18n/characters
KernelVersion: 2.6
Contact: [email protected]
Description: Through this sys entry, Speakup gives you the ability to change
how Speakup pronounces a given character. You could, for
example, change how some punctuation characters are spoken. You
can even change how Speakup will pronounce certain letters. For
further details see '12. Changing the Pronunciation of
Characters' in Speakup User's Guide (file spkguide.txt in
source).
What: /sys/accessibility/speakup/i18n/colors
KernelVersion: 2.6
Contact: [email protected]
Description: When you use the "say attributes" function, Speakup says the
name of the foreground and background colors. These names come
from the i18n/colors file.
What: /sys/accessibility/speakup/i18n/formatted
KernelVersion: 2.6
Contact: [email protected]
Description: This group of messages contains embedded formatting codes, to
specify the type and width of displayed data. If you change
these, you must preserve all of the formatting codes, and they
must appear in the order used by the default messages.
What: /sys/accessibility/speakup/i18n/key_names
KernelVersion: 2.6
Contact: [email protected]
Description: Again, key_names is used by Speakup's help system. In the
previous example, Speakup said that you pressed "keypad 3."
This name came from the key_names file.
What: /sys/accessibility/speakup/<synth-name>/
KernelVersion: 2.6
Contact: [email protected]
Description: In `/sys/accessibility/speakup` is a directory corresponding to
the synthesizer driver currently in use (E.G) `soft` for the
soft driver. This directory contains files which control the
speech synthesizer itself,
as opposed to controlling the speakup
screen reader. The parameters in this directory have the same
names and functions across all
supported synthesizers. The range
of values for freq, pitch, rate, and vol is the same for all
supported synthesizers, with the given range being internally
mapped by the driver to more or less fit the range of values
supported for a given parameter by the individual synthesizer.
Below is a description of values and parameters for soft
synthesizer, which is currently the most commonly used.
What: /sys/accessibility/speakup/<synth-name>/caps_start
KernelVersion: 2.6
Contact: [email protected]
Description: This is the string that is sent to the synthesizer to cause it
to start speaking uppercase letters. For the soft synthesizer
and most others, this causes the pitch of the voice to rise
above the currently set pitch.
What: /sys/accessibility/speakup/<synth-name>/caps_stop
KernelVersion: 2.6
Contact: [email protected]
Description: This is the string sent to the synthesizer to cause it to stop
speaking uppercase letters. In the case of the soft synthesizer
and most others, this returns the pitch of the voice
down to the
currently set pitch.
What: /sys/accessibility/speakup/<synth-name>/delay_time
KernelVersion: 2.6
Contact: [email protected]
Description: TODO:
What: /sys/accessibility/speakup/<synth-name>/direct
KernelVersion: 2.6
Contact: [email protected]
Description: Controls if punctuation is spoken by speakup, or by the
synthesizer.
For example, speakup speaks ">" as "greater", while
the espeak synthesizer used by the soft driver speaks "greater
than". Zero lets speakup speak the punctuation. One lets the
synthesizer itself speak punctuation.
What: /sys/accessibility/speakup/<synth-name>/freq
KernelVersion: 2.6
Contact: [email protected]
Description: Gets or sets the frequency of the speech synthesizer. Range is
0-9.
What: /sys/accessibility/speakup/<synth-name>/flush_time
KernelVersion: 5.12

Description: Gets or sets the inflection of the synthesizer, i.e. the pitch
range. The range is 0-9.
What: /sys/accessibility/speakup/<synth-name>/punct
KernelVersion: 2.6
Contact: [email protected]
Description: Gets or sets the amount of punctuation spoken by the
synthesizer. The range for the soft driver seems to be 0-2.
TODO: How is this related to speakup's punc_level, or
reading_punc.
What: /sys/accessibility/speakup/<synth-name>/rate
KernelVersion: 2.6
Contact: [email protected]
Description: Gets or sets the rate of the synthesizer. Range is from zero
slowest, to nine fastest.
What: /sys/accessibility/speakup/<synth-name>/tone
KernelVersion: 2.6
Contact: [email protected]
