-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 That depends. If you are just wanting to use espeak itself, for the purpose of making wave files out of text files for example, then no, you shouldn't need anything else. If however, you're wanting to use espeak as a software TTS engine for use with speakup, then you definitely need more then espeak, you would need speech-dispatcher, and speechd-up besides espeak for use with speakup. While all of this isn't too tough to setup if you read the docs and follow instructions to the letter, I would say that it isn't a walk in the park either, especially for a newby. All the possible issues you might run into while setting all of this up have been covered here in the past at various times, sometimes more then once. So, looking through the list archives would be the best thing to do if you have issues that the documentation for all of these packages doesn't address. You can find speech-dispatcher and speechd-up at: http://www.freebsoft.org . You can also install speech-dispatcher as a debian package from the main debian repository, and a debian package of speechd-up can be found in the grml package repository, for which I don't remember the URL off the top of my head, and I'm currently not at the system where I have that URL stored.
