When I did a "say -d" I get this: daemon mode: No such device Also, which order should I do the below commands? should I load speakup_softsynth first followed by "say" (when fixed) or visa versa? Also, I kept getting my speakout when I quite deliberately specified speakup_sftsyn. In fact, see the abreviated lsmod listing below. Module Size Used by Not tainted speakup_spkout 1928 0 (autoclean) (unused) speakup_sftsyn 2352 0 (autoclean) [speakup_spkout] speakupmain 42516 0 [speakup_spkout speakup_sftsyn] nls_cp437 4316 2 (autoclean) vfat 9580 2 (autoclean) fat 30392 0 (autoclean) [vfat] What I find interesting here is This lsmod listing was captured while using the speakup_spkout (speakout synth). Dunno why sftsyn would be in the loop at all.
