Ok. I'm willing to help. Do you have the following compiled?
speech-dispatcher
speechd-up
espeak
and software speech compiled as a module in the speakup portion of your
kernel config?
Once you have all that, speech-dispatcher (0.6.1 at least) comes with an
espeak-generic.conf file. YOu just need to uncomment the line in
speechd.conf, set your default module to espeak-generic and run:
speech-dispatcher
echo sftsyn >/proc/speakup/synth_name
speechd-up
and everything should work.

Hi.

I have all that compiled and all the config _seems_ to be correct, but it 
won't load speech-dispatcher; the logs say that the incorrect syntax was 
recieved from output module after espeak has been initialised.

Cheers.

Seems either your instalation is broken (old version of eSpeak module
with new version of Speech Dispatcher etc.) or it is a bug. Please send
me the full log file (if it is too large, just delete it and restart
Speech Dispatcher to create a new one). Also, before you do it, please
turn debugging on in the espeak-generic.conf configuration file (option
Debug 1) and also send me the espak.log log file. This way it will be
easiest to see what is going wrong. (Don't forget to turn debugging
in espeak-generic.conf off then as this can produce huge logfiles).

Thank you,
Hynek Hanke
