Hi their.  I'm not certain of when FC3 is going to be released.  However, 
the answer to your second question is yes.  You can use Speakup with 
software speech.  You will have to either have softsynth support compiled 
in your kernel or loaded as a module.  Next, you need Flite.  You can 
either build it from source, or there are RPM binary distrobutions of it 
available.  You also need Speech Dispatcher.  Not sure if their are RPM's 
available yet.  Perhaps someone else knows that.  Lastly, you need 
speechd-up available.  This is just a list of what you need.  As I don't 
use software speech, I can't help you with configuring it.  Hope this 
helps though.
