Thanks Bill. Would you believe for some reason festival wasn't installed? Its done now and gnopernicus is chatting quite happily.
Onto Braille support. I've still no idea how to get this working but my sighted screen reader is learning fast so I'm confedant with a few more messages to this and other lists we'll get it working soon. I'm hoping to use a pacmate display. I have the brltty package downloaded and installed but not configured as of yet. I haven't figured out what needs to be configured to get the pacmate to be recognised. Again, all help appreciated.

You should have a 'festival' driver. If it doesn't seem to be working, make sure you have festival installed. regards Bill Darragh wrote: >Just to follow that last message, I ran Gnopernicus from a shell and it said >"Speech initialization failed". > >Running Suse 9.3 with no alterations. > >Darragh > >-----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Darragh >Sent: 13 July 2005 12:00 >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Org >Subject: Soundsworks but Gnopernicus doesn't speak > > >Hello, >I've now got sound working by pure chance.
