Depending on what kernel you build, speakup is certainly in gentoo. I am not sure about the default kernel, but gentoo-sources does have it. I have been using it for 5 years. The handbook is more or less still good, I installed one on a vm on the mac a few months ago.

I didn't get brltty working and speakup isn't working to. I tried all speakup boot parameters (speakup.synth=synth) I don't know what to do now. > > I had talking arch live cd on a disk but my dvd device isn't working anymore so I have the gentoo minimal cd on my stick because dd can't write big files on any stick here. But there on talking arch I had to select the right soundcart - it was not the first avaylable - maybe I have to select the right soundcart on gentoo too?
