Very interesting, unfortunately it is not Free Software. If we will use
proprietary software then weaken power for Free Software development of
TTS etc. If you really don't need the proprietary software better send
money to developers who can improve Free Software.
Have a nice day

If it works with emacspeak, then it works with YASR, out of the box.
Just set your DTK_PROGRAM variable to the name of the emacspeak speech
server executable and type "yasr".

Doubt it very much. Even if you have libstdc++-2.96 compatibility, you'd
need a supported interface between your screen reader and the TTS
engine. On Linux that would be gnome-speech, or speech-dispatcher, or
speakup-connector, or py-ibmtts, or the emacspeak driver.

I should expect it would be harder to run Speakup on a Mac than to run
TTSynth on a Mac. Speakup is a patch to the Linux kernel, not the
Mac kernel.

I understand that's attractive, but I don't know of anyone who's done
it. The Mac is a cool piece of hardware, though, especially the laptops.

You should have no problem running Linux on a mac. With the intel
chip in the new mac, just boot a live cd or install a conventional
distro and you should be on your way. If the drivers for the mac
hardware are too different, though, from those for hardware under
x-86, you might encounter some trouble there. I have never tried it,
but I don't see that you should have any trouble with it.
Hope this helps.

You probably could dual boot. I thought I heard it is a little complicated
because of the efi bios, getting it to boot the other partition.

I wonder if you could possibly do a dual boot. I don't know how much
space you've got on there, but I wonder if Linux and mac-osx can both
go on together, then the boot loader can help you get the one you want
going.
I just wondered, I have never tried it on one of the machines you
have.

I should expect it would be harder to run Speakup on a Mac than to run
TTSynth on a Mac. Speakup is a patch to the Linux kernel, not the
Mac kernel.

Hi, Shane:
We have some dozen language models available, and those do indeed
include U.K. English.
We've managed to work around some bugs, though by no means all of them.
For instance, TTSynth will run on Ubuntu now, where not so long ago it
didn't. However, you'll still need libstdc++ compatibility, which your
apt should happily install for you when you install TTSynth. Ditto for
Fedora rpms.
Headers are available separately. See:
http://sf.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=154669

Will this use Alsa so that we don't have to use the odd work arounds if we
want to play streams or something while surfing the net? It is good that we
finally have Viavoice without the need to buy bulk licensing.

We did what we could to support alsa, but support is via alsa's oss.
Can't do anything about that because it's hardcoded into ibmtts, and we
do not have that source code. However, there were problems running with
alsa which were fixed some time ago. It was one of the early issues that
held us up. There have been lots of issues! <grin>
So, bottom line--you should be able to play sounds while running
software speech. However, going back and forth between the desktop and
console with the TTSynth drivers may still be problematical.
Fortunately, now that the product is actually available, we're hoping
this kind of remaining issue will get worked out fairly quickly, as it
doesn't require anything from the actual ibmtts module.

The debian/Ubuntu packaging is IMO, rather woeful. It would have been
much better to ask the license questions in the preinst script using
debconf. As an Ubuntu packager, I do not endorce the packaging quality
of the deb.
I would also think that offering a tarball download would make sense, as
there are users of other distros here, such as Slackware. At this point,
such users have to jump through hoops just to get the package
installed.

Note slackware/gentoo/non deb/rpm distros, you will need the following
library to use ttsynth.
libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3
It is needed by all shared libraries that came in my package anyway.

I wish the demo of the voice would speed up for a paragraph, or offer a
faster version of the demo, so I can hear what it sounds like speeded up.
I don't know how people can think that slowly.
