Hi Alternatively, you could download a copy of either Ubuntu or GRML and open a shell to establish your hardware details. Fedora will not provide speech until after the installation, unless one of the supported hardware synths are attached. But I note that the subject is about the appropriate documentation. Thus it would be either Ubuntu or GRML, visit either site and read what you can. If your Windows installation won't manage the download, you get the disks by a number of other ways. Front of magazine, Linux User Groups or from Cheapbytes etc. On the disk there should be documentation to get it up and running. There's also several howto's that you could view online, if they should be what it is you want. The DOS and Windows to Linux HOWTO and there are several getting started guides.

Thanks in advance, If you go to the Modified Speakup home page at http://www.speakupmodified.org, there is complete and detailed documentation on just how to do what you're wanting to do. You should know before you start, however, that currently only one or two external speech synthesizers are supported for performing the installation. After you install, you can add software speech capability by purchasing the new TTSynth package (see the aforementioned web page for details).
