RE: Soundsworks but Gnopernicus doesn't speak

["Darragh" <lists digitaldarragh com>]

Thanks Bill.

Would you believe for some reason festival  wasn't installed? Its done now
and gnopernicus is chatting quite happily.

Onto Braille support. I've still no idea how to get this working but my
sighted screen reader is learning fast so I'm confedant with a few more
messages to this and other lists we'll get it working soon.

I'm hoping to use a pacmate display.  I have the brltty package downloaded
and installed but not configured as of yet. I haven't figured out what needs
to be configured to get the pacmate to be recognised.

Again, all help appreciated.

Hi Darragh:

First, I think you'll need to turn off sound events, because they can
conflict with speech on some systems.

gconftool-2 -s -t bool /desktop/gnome/sound/event_sounds false

Then make sure esd is on:

gconftool-2 -s -t bool /desktop/gnome/sound/enable_esd true

There should be a program called 'test-speech' installed, which you can
use to test the text-to-speech services.  You should have a 'festival'
driver.  If it doesn't seem to be working, make sure you have festival
installed.

regards

Bill
