Hello,
To test if festival works, give this command:
echo this is a test | festival --tts
It should speak. The SayText command, I think, belongs to the dectalk rt.
You say that the install program of the dec is there, but it is not found.
Try ./installer
note it is dot slash installer
The dot slash tells bash to look for the program to run in the current
directory. If you do not give it, it will look in all the places specified
by your path.

I am using a Dectalk Express with Speakup, but I am trying to get Gnopernicus
to speak with Festival. It's not saying anything. I can't even get festival
to speak from the comand line. it won't say anything when I give it the
SayText command either. It would be nice to see if Dectalk Rt works but when
I type installer it just comes back with no such file or directory even
though it's sitting right there.At 09:50 AM 8/24/2005, you wrote:
Hi,
By the sound of it you want to use speakup with software speech. You might
know this, but if not, you also need to install speech-dispatcher and
speechd_up. You also need to create a device in /dev using mknod and start
the software speech in a specific order.
I have software speech through these programs going under fedra and debian,
so I might be able to help if this is what you want to do.

Hello all. I am new to linux so sorry if I'm asking questions
that have been answered before. I am having trouble getting festival and
dectalk to work. I have installed festival but it doesn't seem to wan't
to talk. I am using Deabian linux 3.1 sarge with the Speakup curnal
Version 2.6. I downloaded festival from debian using apt-get to download
and install the package but it doesn't want to talk. My sound is working
because I can play a CD from the gnome desktop. I also purchased a copy
of Dectalk rt. I have unpacked the file but I can't run the installer.
Is there a spesific directory I need to unpack the files into in order to
get the installer to
When I ordered Dectalk software, I received an email message with
instructions for installing it. You should provide details as to how you
went about trying to install the software and exactly what went wrong
including the text of any error messages you got.
