getting Gnopernicus to speak

[Janina Sajka]

You need to run:

test-speech

first. That will allow you to test any Gnopernicus capable speech server
available under /usr/share slash whatever it is to the Gnome-Speech
drivers. I'm sorry, I don't remember the precise path.

gnome-speech is provided in rpm.

test-speech is in /usr/bin so is pathed.
