Greetings: I put these questions a few days ago and the first one in a number of ways over a week ago but still have seen no answers that instill in me the confidence to move forward. Any and all help is appreciated. (1) As I am so close on having Speakup / Festival / Middleware working on this machine I'm working on, any ideas what it will take to finish that install successfully? (My progress to date is documented in the thread: "Any experience w/ Debian Woody Speakup Packages?") (2) If I were to install yasr, would it work with Speakup? Would it announce kernel panics during boot-up? (3) I already have eflite 0.3.5-2 working with emacspeak on this box, installed from the .deb packages. Do I still need to re-install it from source? Might this break my emacspeak installation? Can you tell me more about compiling eflite with the appropriate voices? Where would I find those voices? -- Hugh At 08:09 AM 7/21/03 -0400, you wrote: >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.
