Hello! I need some help with getting speech in linux. I have brlttty working with avario 40, but I feel that speech would be more comfortable for me since I read slowly. but, I have gotten some problems with getting the speech set up. first I found festival on my cd.(I'm using fedora core 2) I installed this, but hmm, I didn't find any screenreaders that support this system. Is it possible to use festival with a package such as emacspeak? Then I found out that there was a synthesizer called festival lite, so I downloaded this and tried to compile. I ran the configure script, but I got some errors saying something about main and read only location. Why this? Also, when compiling emacspeak 20 I got an error about tetris. is there packages I have forgotten to install with fedora? The third thing I tried was Dec talk for linux. But I couldn't get that to work either, but I'm not interested in that speech engine anyway, so the things I want is to get festival or festival lite to work with emacspeak. I plan to use yasr, but it seems that I need to install emacspeak before yasr in order to get the speech to work. oh, while i'm writing is there any good rpm management tools for fedora? I have found something called rawhide, but on the homepage it says that rawhide is graphical. Can I use rawhide anyway, or is there another tool? thanks kristoffer Kristoffer Gustafsson Solsäter Månstadsvägen 3 51453 Månstad Telefon: 0325 42093 Mobil: 070 627 04 07 E-post: skeeter@xxxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
