Installing speech into Ubuntu?

["Andrew Hodgson" <andrew hodgsonfamily org>]

Hi,

Tried this and got package not found error.  I had already installed
Gnopernicus so would this make a difference?

I am not tied to Ubuntu so is there any other distro that is easier to
get it up and running in?

Thanks.
Andrew.

Hi,

I managed to get the sound card working, but when I do sudo apt-get
install gnopernicus, I get the Gnopernicus screen come up, but no synth
or magnifier.  What have I done wrong?

Thanks.
Andrew.

The easiest and quickest way is to install gnopernicus, which will
install the Festival speech synthesizer. You can do this by simply
running one command.

sudo apt-get install gnopernicus

Which will go and grab everything you need to use Gnopernicus. You will
then have to turn on accessibility features in the GNOME preferences, or
do it manually with a command-line tool. I can't remember how to do it
from the command-line however.

Hope this helps.

Luke
