I use espeak instead of flite, both for personal reasons and because flite causes static on the emulated es1371. Granted, I'm mostly intending this VM as a Linux server, so won't be playing much MP3 audio or the like on it. But we'll see. Thanks, Zack. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tyler Spivey" To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux."
