When I run test-speech, I get: 1: OAFIID:GNOME_Speech_SynthesisDriver_Festival:proto0.2 When I hit 1, I get : Atempting to activate OAFIID:GNOME_Speech_SynthesisDriver_Festival:proto0.2. Then, I just get my standard bash prompt. I assume that means that things worked. If this isn't correct, and I need to install festival, then is there a slackware package somewhere for it, or am I going to need to build it from source? Thanks.
