software synths

[Alastair Irving]

Yes, its certainly possible.  You'll need the speech-dispatcher and
speechd-up packages, which may be provided by your distro, depending
what that is, although they're not too hard to compile from source.
Configure speech-dispatcher to use your chosen synth, (espeak is
probably the easiest and most responsive), and change the speakup synth
to sftsyn.  

HTH (I can give more detailed instructions if you need them)

Is it possible to have speakup speaking through a software synth? Like 
espeak or festival?
If so how would I set this up?

Thanks,
