Hi.
Do you get speech when you type
spd-say "hello world"
If so, then speech-dispatcher is working. If not, edit speech-dispatcher's config files until the spd-say command works.
Once you have speech-dispatcher working, just
sudo modprobe speakup_sftsyn
Speakup will start talking.
If you want speakup to load autimatically on boot, add the line
speakup_sftsyn
to /etc/modules.
Be aware, you will have to press print screen everytime you boot and log into Gnome since speakup will try to read
your X console. Since the print screen gets passed to Gnome, you will have to cancel the dialog.
