Building espeakup from source don't sound that scary. I need software speech. So I install the appropriate speakup_modules using aptitude. Build and install espeakup. Run modprobe speakup_soft and add speakup_soft to /etc/modules. Run espeakup Is that all there is to it? If I want espeakup to start automatically when booting up? Do I just put espeakup in /etc/rc.local? I'll try googling for the latest espeakup source. And a guide/HOWTO on building and install it.
