Do you get speech when you type spd-say "hello world" If so, then speech-dispatcher is working. If not, edit speech-dispatcher's config files until the spd-say command works. Once you have speech-dispatcher working, just sudo modprobe speakup_sftsyn Speakup will start talking. If you want speakup to load autimatically on boot, add the line speakup_sftsyn to /etc/modules. Be aware, you will have to press print screen everytime you boot and log into Gnome since speakup will try to read your X console. Since the print screen gets passed to Gnome, you will have to cancel the dialog. Kenny
