I also purchased a good soundcard (Soundblaster Odegy 4) because I could use the Festival software synthesizer. So, I ordered the four installation cd's and am ready to begin. Except i= t seems like there is nowhere where all the instructions are put in the proper order. From what I understand, I will need to: 1. Install Heidelberg 2. Install Speech Dispatcher. 3. Install speechD-Up 4. Install Festival Is this correct, or are steps 2-4 already done for me? The installation instructions implied that I would be installing it myself using a hardwar= e synth, but I prefer to use a software synth and will have sighted assistance. Also, I thought I read that SpeakUp and a software synth could be started automatically, except after login (which is fine). Is this true? Any advice on the proper steps I will need to take greatly appreciated! Gary
