That's strange, all I did to get emacspeak going with viavoice was to download the viavoice files one of them is viavoice and the other one is a runtime kit and install both of them. Then I typed emacspeak -o and emacspeak came up talking on my sound card. Not saying you're wrong either in fact next time I install emacspeak I may try your method to see if it has any advantages over what I had done before. Thanks for sharing an alternative I didn't know about. On Tue, 15 Oct 2002, Thu Trang wrote: > Emacspeak can work with RedHat Linux by using IBM ViaVoice as software > speech synthesizer.
