I am using Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx 64bit and it talks great. You might have to use alsamixer and alsactl to get the sound where you want it, but I am using espeak and espeakup rather than speech-dispatcher. I find way less problems, ie more stability, faster response and more efficiency with espeakup than with speech-dispatcher. It makes my machine feel way faster. Just a hint in case this helps or has to do with the problem. HTH, Pia On Sat, 24 Jul 2010, Sean Murphy wrote: > Hi > > does speakup work on a 64 bit Linux distro?
