Hello: Well, I guess the answer is yes. The speakup software synth module is generic (its called speakup_sftsyn), it is not built specificly for any one synth. It uses something called speech-dispatcher and speechd_up to talk with the various software synths. Speech-dispatcher works well with the software DECtalk, I use it all of the time... A couple of days ago I posted a message talking about how I got software speech working, but your specific distro might be slitely different. I use Fedora Core 2.
