I haven't used festival for some time, but you may need to install festival-freebsoft utils. Alternatively, use espeak which is generally = much more responsive than festival.

Subject: a quick question Hello list, I've finally got everything up and running again, and have been doing = some playing around. I'd like to get software speech going, so I can continue = my origenal idea of compiling a kernel. I started reading docks, and got as = far as speech-dispatcher I've installed it, and spd-say "Hello" just hangs. = as well as using hello without the quotes. I've rebooted the service via = init.d ./speech-dispatcher restart, and also changed the synths from flite to festival, and back again to make sure that it wasn't just the synth. Festival works perfect--I'm just having trouble communicating with the = synth via spd-say. Any ideas why its hanging? The docs on getting software = speech working with speakup was rather vague. I've also got an issue with ssh, = that I thought may be able to be fixed here. When I'm compiling, reading nampages, etc I see a lot of euros a-circumflex marks all over. Is there something wrong with my terminal? Not sure why it's showing that.
