Dear all, I downloaded speakupmodified fedora Fc3 from ftp://speakupmodified.org. After successfully checking md5sum, burnt the images to CDs and installed. Now I want to use software synth to run speakup. After installing speech dispatcher and speachedup one way of enabling speakup is to use flite, a light waite TTS. I also found that Gnopernicus is working so I can conclude that festival is present as a default TTS. Now please guide me how to use festival as TTS to enable speakup after installing speech dispatcher and speachedup. Appreciating your valuable guidance.
