Hi Terrence,
FreeTTS and Festival are two different, though related, TTS engines. The
Festival configuration requires permissions to be set in the /etc/festival.scm
file to be used in client-server mode. FreeTTS is a port/rewrite of
Festival-light (aka Flite) to Java. It requires a 1.4 compatible Java runtime.
Run the program 'test-speech' to find out what TTS engines are installed with
gnome-speech drivers configured properly for them. This is a useful debugging
step when you have trouble getting Gnopernicus to talk. If you can't get
speech via test-speech, then the problem is upstream of your screen reader.

Hi, Bill,
I did respond in another message with my distro information, but
it doesn't seem to have reached the list. I'm running Debian Sarge on
an eMachines 433mhz PC. The thing has 2 hard drives, and the other hard
drive is running Oralux. I looked for an option to use Festival as my
driver, but it doesn't show up, even though I've installed it with
aptitude. So does Festival work *through* freetts? I looked for a
freetts package from Debian, but they don't seem to have one.
Is that something I have to get separately? I read several of
the messages, but was still kind of confused by them.
Thanks,
Terrence
