It covers the part of installation of Speech Dispatcher, SpeechD-Up and Festival.

It is possible to install Debian relying on a software synthesizer, starting from a live CD (such as http://www.freebsoft.org/freebsoft-cdrom ). I don't know about Fedora. > Also, I thought I read that SpeakUp and a software synth could be started > automatically, except after login (which is fine). Is this true? They can be started well before login, as soon as user-space applications can be started during the boot-up process. I have it running this way on my machine. Have a nice day, Hynek
