Hi Scott. Steps to get software synths to work are: 1. Modify the speech-dispatcher configuration file found in the /etc/speech-dispatcher directory. You have to modify this file to support the software synth you want to use. The configuraiton file already has some defualt free and non-free synths. EG: espeech, flight, Dectalk Software and Viavoice. Make sure you restart speech-dispatcher via the '/etc/init.d/speech-dispatcher restart' command before trying to get software to work with Speakup. I don't know If this is really required, but I do it to make sure. 2. Once you have done that, load the speakup moduel for software speech by: modprobe speakup_sftsyn 3. Then run dispatcher: speech-dispatcher 4. Then run: speakd-up (I hope I hav this command correct, I am working from memory). Assumming your sound is correctly configured on your machine. Then it all should work. I have this in a script to do for myself.
