Have you seen Festival or Viavoice work? I spent a couple of hours last night searching google & google groups for info on getting Festival working with emacspeak. I didn't really find anything helpful and the few pages I did find tended to indicate there's a piece missing. Apparently some intermediate piece you need between emacspeak & Festival hasn't been developed yet. But most of what I found was so vague I couldn't really tell. I certainly did not find anything where someone said straight out that they use a linux machine with emacspeak & Festival. My problem is that I need a laptop and I can't figure out how I'm going to get speech working. It seems to me that dragging along an external synth would defeat the purpose.
