I have similar notes for the speech_tools package along with a patch
I used. You may not need any of this, though, as it sounds like you
have it running already.

Be forewarned, I could never get festival to work right with Gnome
Speech and Gnopernicus. This was quite a while ago, and those issues
may be resolved now. I use FreeTTS exclusively now, as it works first
time every time.

One more thing that I remember now, the 1.95 beta version is what I
couldn't get working. It has been a long time, but if I remember
correctly GNOME speech only worked with the 1.4.3 version you can
get here: http://festvox.org/packed/festival/free-1.4.3/

If the 1.95 version doesn't work (test speech program won't even
work), then use the 1.4.3. If there is anything I can do to help
out, let me know.

I worked fairly hard learning the gnome-speech, gnopernicus, free-tts
stuff as I wanted to get something in the book for the speech
impaired. Don't be afraid to ask questions if things don't work right.

Trust me, a Free TTS setup will work perfectly. The voices aren't
that great, but it does work. If you need any help getting any of
the Java stuff working, let me know. Hopefully everything is in the
BLFS book that you should need.

Good luck!
