I have Emacspeak working with eSpeak on
Vinux 4. There's also no need to recompile eSpeak to get it to
work with Emacspeak on Vinux 4. I can send you the steps I use
to get it working, but I'll probably update the Vinux wiki in a
bit after I've had time to check out my instructions with the
latest release.

Very exciting! Well done, you guys!
Console speech just works?! Very impressive!
I am very eager to try this out. Has anyone, by any chance,
gun emacspeak to work on it?
Best regards,

The Vinux team is pleased to announce
the availability of Vinux 4.0 CD
and DVD images.
This is the first Vinux release featuring the Unity-2d
Desktop which
improves on transition to Vinux and introduces newer and
increasingly
stable accessibility features.
We now recommend that when possible users perform updates on
a regular
basis. This will enable the Vinux team to update packages,
and introduce
new features.
Some of the highlights in Vinux 4.0:
Brand new build process: Vinux now uses the same method to
produce our
images as Cannonical produces Ubuntu.
Console speech just works. Much time and work has taken
place to meet
our blueprint goal
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/vinux/+spec/vinux-4-functional-console-screen-reader
Voxin is easy to set-up. Vinux has taken one step further in
making
Voxin easier to install.
Quantal kernel: We are using a newer 3.5 kernel back ported
to Precise
offering better hardware support than ever.
Classic menu. Vinux now has a Classic menu indicator which
provides the
old style menu whilst in a Unity environment.
Vinux wiki. Our community is highly committed to providing
clear and
easy to follow documentation. http://wiki.vinuxproject.org/
Vinux easy install scripts converted to meta packages.
Pico voices. We are shipping with the Pico voices once
again.
Fixes:
Images now work on optical and USB media instead of separate
builds in
the past.
Weather indicator fixed, previously stopped working due to
API changes.
Gnome login sound fixed, Ubuntu set to be disabled by
default.
Fresh and clean sound theme added.
PC speaker beep removed from blacklist, console users can
again use it.
Console branding. Vinux will identify itself at a virtual
terminal and
upon login offer tips of the day.
Flite and Pico now available as separate packages.
Cicero moved to a separate package also, will stop loss of
speech from
the curious.
Revised keyboard shortcuts.
Software:
unity-2d 5.14
LibreOffice 3.5.7 <DVD only>
Speech-dispatcher 0.8
Gnome-orca 3.4.2
Espeak 1.47
Firefox 21.0
Thunderbird 17.0
Cry for help, remote assistance by Vinux gurus.
Just to mention a few.
Known bugs:
The indicator panel is not accessible from Firefox and
Thunderbird.
Console speech has been completed, but it probably needs
some stability
improvement.
Availability:
Vinux 4.0 is now available in the AMD64 and i386
architectures and
available in both CD and DVD versions.
DVD:
This contains everything necessary to install the Vinux
operating system
and a collection of pre-defined packages aimed at visually
impaired
users. This should be all you need if you can burn and use
DVD-sized media.
CD:
This also contains everything necessary to install the Vinux
operating
system and a collection of pre-defined packages aimed at
visually
impaired users. Use this image if you can only burn and use
CD-sized media.
Vinux 4.0 can be installed from optical media or from a USB
memory
stick. The required files can be downloaded via HTTP as
described below.
Support:
The Vinux development team currently plans on supporting 4.0
until June
2015.
Our mailing list has a supportive community on Google groups
