I cannot seem to get it to output any speech. voyageur on IRC stated that it worked for him via 'aoss espeak hello world' - however, I don't have aoss. I inteded to test against kismet, but without being able to get it working standalone, I can't get it working with kismet.

Hi Steev, The only documentation I know of for espeak is on the home page and also gets installed in /usr/share/doc when you emerge the package. What are aoss and kismet? I haven't worked with those.

I don't really *need* festival from an accessibility point of view but I'm using it from time to time and find it quite useful. Once emacspeak 26 is in the tree, I would like to move festival out of accessibility, or remove it from the tree. I'd really like to see festival kept in the tree. If that meant having to maintain it myself, I would do it if I absolutely had to. :) Best regards, Wulf pgpXFx4F9BgtP.pgp Description: PGP signature

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 It can also, Be used by kismet, but it's not clear whether there are strong bindings there, or if espeak could easily be substituted using kismet.conf. Dunno if that's useful or not, but there you go...

It's probably more fruitful now to get espeak ported to more arches. It doesn't even seem to have a configure script right now, or other mechanisms to support bigendian systems throughout the build. Smells like Summer of Code. :) Kind regards, JeR [1] https://bugs.gentoo.org/163285 -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
