I did and it works ok.
There are/were some problems with the rate and pitch settings, but with extra configuration that can be fixed. What i have tested was the use of the generic speech-dispatcher module while running gnopernicus.

You can these days use any speech that you can get going through speech-dispatcher as there is no a driver for speech-dispatcher in gnome-speech.

I wonder if this is better than gnopernicus? I also wonder if I can use any better sounding speech besides Festival which I don't particularly care for? I have CD's around here somewhere of speakup Fedora core 3 or 4, forget which now as I almost must use software speech some how unless I can buy an ISA to PCI adapter card somewhere.

Linux Screen Reader

A scriptable screen reader for the Linux GNOME desktop environment.

The Linux Screen Reader (LSR) is an application that transforms the
contents of the computer screen to other media, enabling non-visual
access to the graphical Gnome desktop environment. The basic function of
the screen reader is to report changes in the state of an application as
a user interacts with it using the keyboard or other system input
device. What is reported to the user and what commands are available for
controlling the screen reader are determined by cascading scripts that
completely define the user experience. The scripts can be loaded and
unloaded by the user at run time, and custom scripts can be written to
improve the usability of certain applications and interactions.
