Hi Kristoffer. It somewhat depends on which Linux distribution you are using. I'm using Debian, so I can only answer about that distribution. For Debian, you need to edit the /etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf file. Follow the comments in the file, and uncomment the festival and port lines. You will also need to edit your /etc/init.d/festival file. You will find a comment that says, "# comment out the following line to start a festival server." If memory serves, you also need to edit /usr/share/festival/festival.scm and make sure that the name "localhost" is in the access list. If you are running something other than Debian, then someone else will have to answer your questions. Gene
