speakup w/ software synth

[Stephen Kelly]

Okay!

I installed the Speakup Modified Fedora Core 2
distribution and the system is running well. I used
the graphical installation program and did not follow
the step by step HowTo provided at the site because I
intend to use a software synth of some kind and
couldn't find specific instructions for that (synth
keyword, etc.) So now my questions are:

How do I get speakup running using a software synth
such as sftsyn?
I've tried logging into a text console and doing:
modprobe speakup_sftsyn
but nothing happens. I notice that the modules show up
when I do an lsmod but Speakup doesn't speak.
I've also tried doing: speakup_synth=sftsyn But again
nothing happens.

I think I've done all the obvious stuff like run
alsaconf and made sure the audio outputs were up and
not muted. (Gnopernicus seems to work fine as do all
the GUI audio applications I use like Audacity)

Any guidance on how to get Speakup speaking would be
greatly appreciated. If there is any documentation
that would help I'd also love to know about it.
Thanks so much.
Stephen
