I've made further advances in getting speak up to work. I now have a talking software synth. Here is my next problem; My Ubuntu boots into the gui fine but when I ctrl-alt F1 for a console window I have raw binary overlapping the terminal window. My other professor said that speak up is not installed and the console is using Orca for speech output which is causing the overlapping problem. Could someone please send me some step-by-step instructions or at least give me a link that can explain this to an idiot? All I want to do is learn Linux!
