Hey chuck Speechd.conf should be in /etc/speech-dispatcher, if not, /usr/local/etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf. As to putting things together, here's a script to do it all. This simply requires that you have sftsyn installed; module or builtin doesn't matter. #!/bin/sh #software speech script #start speech dispatcher speech-dispatcher #load speakup softsynth module: #this requires that we first change to no synth in some cases, so we may as well to be safe. echo none >/proc/speakup/synth_name echo sftsyn >/proc/speakup/synth_name #start speechd_up speechd_up this should at least give you an idea of how things are structured; it's a bit complex at first (i was planning to leave it until the summer), but once you get it working it works like a charm.
