Ok, here's my 2 cents worth. First thing to check is that the soft synth is loaded. cat /proc/speakup/synth_name. if it comes back with sftsyn as the loaded module it's loaded ok. Next, have you run the speech-dispatcher-0.3/src/tests/run_test ? cd to the tests dir and run run_test basic.test if this works and you get speech everything is compiled correctly and I would need more info in order to troubleshoot the issues.

The current version of Speakup which comes with Fedora Core Beta looks like it has compiled the sftsyn module, and doing a modprobe doesn't give me any errors. > > > > *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** > > On 4/28/2004 at 7:35 PM Jacob Schmude wrote: > > >Hi > >Well, horendous... that's just how flite sounds.
