I am using a Dectalk Express with Speakup, but I am trying to get
Gnopernicus to speak with Festival. It's not saying anything. I
can't even get festival to speak from the comand line. it won't say
anything when I give it the SayText command either. It would be nice
to see if Dectalk Rt works but when I type installer it just comes
back with no such file or directory even though it's sitting right
there.At 09:50 AM 8/24/2005, you wrote:
