[g-a-devel]Re: gnome-speech : attempt to use with ViaVoice

[Marc Mulcahy <marc mulcahy sun com>]

Hi Adi,

To get the Viavoice support in GNOME speech to work, you'll need both the 
Viavoice TTS SDK and RTK for Linux from IBM's web site.   Install them and 
make sure they work.  Then configure and build gnome-speech, and the 
ViaVoice driver should build and install and work.  If it doesn't let me 
know-- it's working for me here.  This reminds me to put together a simple 
README, which I'll do posthaste.

To run the festival driver, ensure that you run the "festival_server" 
application in the background before starting up any app that uses speech.

Thanks,

Marc
