Hi, well the time has come yep the moment I have been waiting for.  I =
have
flite and festable installed on my system.  The sound card works I =
tested it
out by doing this=20
Apt-get install saytime saydate aumix=20
After setting the volume with aumix by the way is this the best tool to =
use
for this function?=20
I ran saytime and saydate sound came out of the sound card with no =
problem.

Then I did a search for the speech synthesizer by doing this=20
Apt-cache search speech=20
I found the packages I wanted by using speakups review commands and the =
mark
and cut and paste command like this=20
Apt-get install then the paste command.=20
It installed vestable=20
Then I issued the command=20
Apt-get install flite=20
Flite was installed.  Now I need to test these software synthesizers out =
and
then switch speakup to one of them.  First question how should I go =
about
testing them to make sure they work.  Second how do I switch speakup to =
one
of them and witch one to choose.  Thanks=20
