speakup: Standardize character attribute types to u16

2026-07-17T12:54:55+00:00

This change replaces non-portable `u_short` types with standardized `u16` throughout the speakup subsystem to ensure: 1. Consistent 16-bit width across all architectures. 2. Improved code portability and readability. 3. Elimination of platform-dependent type sizes. 4. Safe bitwise operations without sign-extension risks.

accessibility: speakup: Fix incorrect string length computation in report_char_chartab_status()

2026-07-17T12:54:55+00:00

snprintf() returns the "number of characters which *would* be generated for the given input", not the size *really* generated. In order to avoid too large values for 'len' (and potential negative values for "sizeof(buf) - (len - 1)") use scnprintf() instead of snprintf().

accessibility: speakup: refactor deprecated strncpy

2023-10-05T11:34:05+00:00

`strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1]. Let's refactor this function to just use synth_write().

accessibility: speakup: phonetic spelling while arrowing letter by letter

2022-11-23T18:47:15+00:00

This patch includes an enhancement requested frequently on the mailing list.[1][2] It adds a variable, cur_phonetic in the spk_vars, which can be set as a module parameter, as well as in /sys/speakup/cur_phonetic. This patch also documents cur_phonetic as a sysfs attribute in sysfs-driver-speakup. When cur_phonetic=1, it causes speakup to speak letters phonetically if paused on the character while arrowing through a word. When a user does not set cur_phonetic to any value, the default value for it would be 0.
