I've been using software speech on my Debian boxes for a while and I thought I would post some info on how I did it. I use Debian packages for speech-dispatcher. I built speechd_up from CVS. To install speech-dispatcher type: apt-get install speech-dispatcher speech-dispatcher-festival To build speechd_up, you will also need Debian's libspeechd-dev package. apt-get install libspeechd-dev After you build and install everything, put the attached script in /etc/init.d and type: update-rc.d speechd_up start 21 2 3 4 5 . stop 21 0 1 6 . This will create the links to start speechd_up after speech-dispatcher. I build speakup as modules. I add the line speakup_sftsyn to /etc/modules to load the soft synth module. I don't know much about bash programming, so good luck using it.
