You use something like yasr with flite. this isn't a good solution because you won't see all the startup/shutdown messages you do with speakup. The only problem is installation. you will probably need another computer running a telecom package like teraterm and a serial cable or a machine running a telnet client for a redhat/fedora (?) telnet install. Speakup does support software speech as of recently, but I cant comment on it as I've never used it. Your best bet is still hardware speech if you can get a synth. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Farhan" <corrupter@xxxxxxxxx> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Wednesday, June 02, 2004 10:20 AM Subject: Re: playing sounds at startup > How do you use linux with software speech? what distro? > at 09:16 AM 6/2/2004, you wrote: > >Hello folks, > > A while back, I recall someone mentioning a way to cause Linux to play > > various sounds at different times such as at the login prompt and at > > shutdown.
