Re: No speech, and magnifier question

[Bill Haneman <Bill Haneman Sun COM>]

Also Terrence:

The "no speech" problem is probably due to changes in the festival 
speech synthesis system which require you to modify a file called 
festival.scm.  Please see the recent archives of this list for 
discussion of "no speech with Festival" issues.  Knowing your distro 
will help us diagnose.

gnome-speech works with several different software TTS systems including 
Festival, freetts, viavoice, DecTalk (software version), and older 
versions of the Cepstral Theta driver.

Bill
