Ideally I would like to get fedora, orca and speakup working with ttsynth, or some hire quality synthesizer than e-speak Fedora 11 shipps with Festivol, when it is installed, and that was so slow... So I tried following the instructions for downloading gnome-speech on the orca website and got that done. Now, I need to get some kind of console access etc with a software synthesizer. I'd love to have my old dec-talk express and use that, but I no longer have serial ports on my computer so I'm limited to using a software synthe. I hope that makes sense... Thanks
