OT: Emacspeak and Fedora

[Alastair Irving]

Hi

You'd probably be better off asking this on the emacspeak list, see
http://www.cs.vassar.edu/~priestdo/emacspeak/

I expect that you need to compile the speech server for the appropriate 
synth, these can be found in 
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/emacspeak/servers (or similar), and you will 
then also need to configure emacspeak to use that server, probably by 
setting the DTK_PROGRAM environment variable.

I know this is rather vague but the specifics vary depending on the 
distro and the choice of server, in some cases you have to edit the 
server makefiles, etc.  Its probably best looking at the emacspeak list 
archives and then asking on there if you need further advice.
