Hi. I've been using software speech on my Debian boxes for a while and
I thought I would post some info on how I did it.
I use Debian packages for speech-dispatcher. I built speechd_up from
CVS. To install speech-dispatcher type:
apt-get install speech-dispatcher speech-dispatcher-festival
To build speechd_up, you will also need Debian's libspeechd-dev package.
apt-get install libspeechd-dev
After you build and install everything, put the attached script in
/etc/init.d and type:
update-rc.d speechd_up start 21 2 3 4 5 . stop 21 0 1 6 .
This will create the links to start speechd_up after speech-dispatcher.
I build speakup as modules. I add the line
speakup_sftsyn
to /etc/modules to load the soft synth module.
I don't know much about bash programming, so good luck using it.
