No, that won't work. I'm not sure Festival is even available to use Speakup, though I do recall sometime ago someone was putting that together. The currently available soluion will require you to do considerably more. I don't even recall all the steps--you'll have to poke through the Speakup archives. There will be another solution available soon. I've been reluctant to talk about it because I'm behind schedule releasing it, but it is coming and should be only a matter of weeks: http://TTSynth.Com Scott Berry writes: > I have no speech.
