Hi, You haven't found documentation, because no one has written any. Perhaps you'll fix that for the next person if you see this through. Basically: 1.) Insure that you have Linux with Speakup, as well as flite installed and working. 2.) Get and compile both speech-dispatcher and speechd-up from http://www.freebsoft.org 3.) Execute, in this order: speech-dispatcher modprobe speakup_sftsyn speechd_up Julia writes: > I am a relative newbie to linux, and want to ge > speakup working on my system, but don't have the money > for a hardware synthfor very occasional use.
