Newbie to Linux, Speakup software speech question.

[Kristoffer Gustafsson]

Hello!
you need a package called speech dispatcher, and a package called speechd-up 
in order for software speech to work.

I have forgotten where to get them, but perhaps a google search on speech 
dispatcher can give a clue.
