I have been working on the goal of a speakup howto for a *long* time and you're right it won't likely be done soon. If you put together something about getting speakup working with a software synthesizer I would love to encorporate it. I have only had marginal success so I don't want to document that. Mostly my problems are with a rather slow system as far as a software synth is concerned and that my box isn't stable when I try it. You can see my work to date at http://www.tomass.dyndns.org/~stivers_t/Speakup-HOWTO/Speakup-HOWTO.html Janina Sajka has put together an altogether more useful howto for speakup and fedora the address for which I can not remember. I am sure any docs you can write for using a software synth would be appreciated. > I would like to know what other mailing list members think about this.

I love simple questions, they're the ones that are easy to answer - -- "Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.
