Dear List, I have installed Fc2 on my system. In that I got 2 screen readers gnopernicus and emacspeak 17.0. Gnopernicus is working fine but When I run emacspeak it is not speaking at all by T.V. Raman himself. When I put this question on emacspeak list it was termed as bogus question by T.V. Raman himself. But one gentle man suggested me to install flite as TTS and eflite as speech server. So I installed both flite and eflite. Both flite and eflite confirmed their tests. I also made necessary changes in the shell script by giving proper path. But when I start it is giving the following kinds of messages "process speaker is not running" " buffer area has no process. Please help me in this regard. I am not able to use unless I am able to use emacspeak and gnopernicus to its full extent. I will appreciate your help. Thanks in advance.
