Espeak habla cada tecla presionada TTY

Creo que era algo así no recuerdo bien.

lsmod | grep speakup
sudo /sbin/espeakup --default-voice=en

sudo pacman --noconfirm -S espeakup 
sudo systemctl stop espeakup
sudo systemctl enable espeakup

Y luego hay que reiniciar el sistema.

espeakup + speakup can echo keys as you type in a Linux TTY, but you must enable Speakup’s key echo function — espeakup alone doesn’t speak keystrokes.

✅ Steps (TTY, no GUI)

1. Load the speakup soft-speech driver

# Hice esto y no me sirvió aparte no puedo usar más el capslock queda tomado tengo que usar Shift+capslock.
sudo modprobe speakup_soft

2. Start espeakup

Arch:

sudo espeakup

Debian/Ubuntu:

sudo service espeakup start

3. Enable key echo

Speakup has 3 echo modes: 0 = off, 1 = characters, 2 = words, 3 = both

To echo characters as you type:

sudo bash -c 'echo 1 > /sys/accessibility/speakup/key_echo'

To echo characters + words:

sudo bash -c 'echo 3 > /sys/accessibility/speakup/key_echo'

4. (Optional) Turn on keyboard speech toggle

You can toggle speaking using: Insert + F9 = toggle keyboard echo Insert + F10 = speak punctuation mode

(Some laptops use CapsLock instead of Insert)

✅ Make it persistent (load Speakup at boot)

Arch:

sudo systemctl enable espeakup

Debian:

sudo systemctl enable espeakup.service

🎧 Test it

Type in a TTY (Ctrl+Alt+F2). You should hear Espeak say each key or word.

Extra Useful Parameters

Slow speech:

sudo bash -c 'echo 200 > /sys/accessibility/speakup/rate'

Speak punctuation:

sudo bash -c 'echo 1 > /sys/accessibility/speakup/punct'

If you want, I can also give you:

• Script to toggle key-echo quickly
• A systemd service to auto-enable it
• Commands for Void / Gentoo / Fedora

Want me to generate those?

On Arch, eSpeak NG only ships the basic voices by default. To install extra voices (including MBROLA):

✅ Install eSpeak NG + MBROLA voices (AUR)

1) Install eSpeak NG

sudo pacman -S espeak-ng

2) Install MBROLA voices (AUR)

You need an AUR helper (yay, paru, etc.).

With yay:

yay -S mbrola-voices

This package includes many voices (us, uk, es, etc.).

✅ Test installed voices

Test normal espeak voices

espeak-ng -v en-us "Hello from eSpeak NG"

Test MBROLA voices

espeak-ng -v mb-us1 "This is a MBROLA voice"

If it talks → ✅ working If you see:

Cannot find mb-us1

then run:

yay -S mbrola-voices-us1

(each MBROLA voice also exists as its own package, e.g. mbrola-voices-es1, mbrola-voice-us2, etc.)

👉 Common MBROLA packages in Arch AUR

Install only what you want to save space.

✅ Use MBROLA with espeakup (if using speakup in TTY)

Edit config:

sudo nano /etc/default/espeakup

Set:

VOICE="mb-us1"

Restart:

sudo systemctl restart espeakup

📂 Where voices go on Arch

🎤 Tip: Slow down & make it smoother

espeak-ng -s 150 -v mb-us2 "This sounds more natural"

If you tell me which style you want (male/female/Spanish/robotic/natural), I can tell you the exact package + voice name.

Want faster install commands for paru instead of yay?

systemctl edit espeakup

Environment="default_voice=mb-us1"
ExecStart=
ExecStart=/usr/bin/espeakup --default-voice=mb-us1

If you want your existing Arch Linux installation to talk in the TTY (screen reader / key echo / announcements) without reinstalling, the two main tools are:

✅ espeakup (speech for console using eSpeak) ✅ speechd + speech-dispatcher (general speech system) (optional) ✅ brltty if you also need braille support

Below is the simplest working setup.

✅ Step 1 — Install speech packages

sudo pacman -S espeakup espeak speech-dispatcher

Optional voices (better quality, not required):

sudo pacman -S piper-tts

✅ Step 2 — Enable espeakup service

For normal PC speakers (recommended)

sudo systemctl enable --now espeakup.service

If using a hardware speech synthesizer

sudo systemctl enable --now espeakup-soft.service

espeakup listens to the Linux console screen and speaks text.

✅ Step 3 — Test speech

Try typing something on TTY1: Ctrl+Alt+F2 → log in

Then:

echo "Arch Linux is talking" | espeak

You should hear voice output.

✅ Make it read keys as you type (Key echo)

Install key echo utility:

sudo pacman -S speakup

Then enable it:

sudo bash -c 'echo 1 > /sys/accessibility/speakup/key_echo'

To make it permanent, create udev rule:

sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/99-speakup.rules

Add:

SUBSYSTEM=="accessibility", ATTR{speakup/key_echo}="1"

✅ Useful speakup commands in TTY

Turn speech on/off:

echo 1 | sudo tee /sys/accessibility/speakup/silent        # silent mode
echo 0 | sudo tee /sys/accessibility/speakup/silent        # speak

Change voice speed:

echo 150 | sudo tee /sys/accessibility/speakup/rate

List controls:

sudo less /sys/accessibility/speakup/* 2>/dev/null

❗ Important Notes

• Works only in real Linux TTY, not inside Xorg/Wayland
• For GUI readers, use Orca instead
• No need to reinstall Arch — this setup is correct for existing system

✅ Bonus — Piper voice example

If you want human-like voice instead of robotic espeak:

echo "Hello from Arch Linux" | piper-tts --model /usr/share/piper-voices/en/en_US/lessac/medium/en_US-lessac-medium.onnx > out.wav
aplay out.wav

(TTS not fully realtime yet unless using Piper-Live scripts)

If you want, tell me and I can also provide:

• a script to auto-enable speech on boot
• config for multiple voices
• Orca + console switching guide
• braille display support

Would you like key echo + cursor tracking + speak prompts automatically on login?
