Hello, Don: 1.) Did you copy over the spk-connect-ttsynth file? If not, you're missing the connector between TTSynth and Speakup. 2.) Suggest you upgrade to the latest Speakup Modified kernel. Once installed, edit /boot/grub/grub.conf to make sure your kernel statement ends with something like: speakup.synth=soft speakup.quiet=1 Janina Don Raikes writes: > Hello, > I installed the speakup fedora 9 about a month ago and have never been > able to get speakup to work. > I have ttsynth installed and working on the system. > In an effort to fix the issues, I compiled fedora-2.6.25.11-95.spk and > installed it this week. > > Still no speech. > I just installed speech-dispatcher 0.6.6 from the yum repository. > Now what do I have to do to get this box talking? > _______________________________________________ > Speakup mailing list > Speakup at braille.uwo.ca > http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup -- Janina Sajka, Phone: +1.202.595.7777; sip:janina at a11y.org Partner, Capital Accessibility LLC http://CapitalAccessibility.Com Marketing the Owasys 22C talking screenless cell phone in the U.S. and Canada Learn more at http://ScreenlessPhone.Com Chair, Open Accessibility janina at a11y.org Linux Foundation http://a11y.org
