There is also a speakup connector available on the ttsynth page. This
allows you to run voxin or ttsynth with speakup without
speech-dispatcher.
The only problem I've found with the ttsynth speakup connector is that
it doesn't create a pid file so that it can't be stopped with a standard
init script. I'm working on a patch for this.
I actually prefer the speakup connector because you get
notified of capital letters with pitch change. Not having a pitch
change option for caps is a shortcoming of speech-dispatcher.
Although voxin is designed for Debian based distros, I've gotten it to
work on arch linux.
