Testing flite

[Jared]

I am trying to get up and running with software speach. I currently have
what I believe is a working installation of flite. Can someone tell me how
to test it, and make sure it actually works? Also to set up with Eflite, and
Yasr, is there any guides? I see almost no guides for Yasr, and pray that
eflite can find my efault flite installation that uses shared librarys, it
was the only way i got it to install. appreciate any info as docs sceem
scarce.
