speakup and ubuntu

[Sean Murphy]

Hi Scott.

Steps to get software synths to work are:

1.  Modify the speech-dispatcher configuration file found in the 
/etc/speech-dispatcher directory.  You have to modify this file to support 
the software synth you want to use.  The configuraiton file already has some 
defualt free and non-free synths.  EG:  espeech, flight, Dectalk Software 
and Viavoice.  Make sure you restart speech-dispatcher via the 
'/etc/init.d/speech-dispatcher restart' command before trying to get 
software to work with Speakup.  I don't know If this is really required, but 
I do it to make sure.

2.  Once you have done that, load the speakup moduel for software speech by:

modprobe speakup_sftsyn

3.  Then run dispatcher:

speech-dispatcher

4.  Then run:

speakd-up (I hope I hav this command correct, I am working from memory).

Assumming your sound is correctly configured on your machine.  Then it all 
should work.

I have this in a script to do for myself.
