Hi, Hugh. To get started using yasr with software speech all you need do is go to: http://yasr.sourceforge.net Download the yasr 0.6.4 source, and then grab flite and eflite source which there are links to. You would build flite, and then compile eflite using the 16k voices not the 8k voices, and then set the synth port in yasr.conf, and you have speech. ----- Original Message ----- From: Hugh Esco <hesco@xxxxxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Sunday, July 20, 2003 6:55 PM Subject: Re: current status of software speech with speakup > Please give me more information about how I might install yasr and speakup > on a Debian system to work without a hardware synthesizer.
