Hello Donna: I believe if it is a recent ubuntu speakup should already be on the machine. You can try as root "modprobe speakup_soft" at a shell prompt and if there is no messages it is installed. If that works you will need to install the espeakup or speech-dispatcher packages for software speech. You can do, once again as root, "aptitude install espeakup" or apt-get if you prefer that. If you get speakup working with those commands then you can just place a line at the bottom of your /etc/modules file that says "speakup_soft" without the quotes. Installing espeakup will automatically set it up to start at boot.

So my question is how do I install speak up and is there a default software synth in the package? Also how would I get speech right from boot? > Thanks > > Sent from my iPad > _______________________________________________ > Speakup mailing list > Speakup at linux-speakup.org > http://linux-speakup.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/speakup > -- Well that's it then, colour me gone!
