Hi Timothy, Welcome to speakup :) There is http://linux-speakup.org/spkguide.txt which should help. Basically you need two kernel modules loaded. One is speakup.ko and the other depends upon which synthesizer you want to use. So for example for Apollo you'll need speakup_apollo.ko. You can also use software synth speakup_soft.ko if you don't have a hardware synth. All supported synths are mentioned in spkguide linked above. If it's a hardware synth then the two kernel modules is all you need. If it's speakup_soft.ko then some user-space text-to-speech software will be required. If you can explain where you're getting stuck then we can help more :) Cheers!
