Hi. A hardware synth is only useful if you plan to run speakup. If you want
to install without help, you will need a hardware synth for speakup during the
install.
That's how I installed. Because I have an old accent sa, I use a software synth
even with speakup. The espeakup package will allow speakup direct access to
espeak.
The Lenny installer with speakup only supports hardware synth, but I believe
Squeeze will use speakup with espeakup.
Orca, the Gnome screen reader, can only use software synths.
The software synth used most lately is espeak. Espeak is already a Debian
package.
