Hi Guy,
Yes, gnome-speech was built from source using ttsynth.
Here are the steps, all executed logged as root.
Perhaps I had done something wrong.

1: Install the ttsynth package and the lib recommended in the readme file.
2: Create an empty direcctory.
mkdir speech

3: Install the sources from the repository.
cd speech
sudo apt-get source libgnome-speech7
sudo apt-get build-dep libgnome-speech7

4: configure, compile and install
cd gnome-speech-0.4.21/
./configure --prefix=/usr/ --with-viavoice-dir=/opt/IBM/ibmtts/
make
make install

Hey there Jose, did you build gnome-speech from source? Just wondering how you got ibmtts support configured. I was going to ask a similar question, because I know there is not a package for ibmtts as there is for Cepstral and Dec-talk. I obviously know how to build gnome-speech from source, but I recall that there was something that had to be done to insure that pulseaudio integration was not broken. If someone has done this successfully, any tips and/or tricks would be greatly appreciated. Thanks much in advance and keep up the good work. I've seen some excellent progress thus far, and look forward to what will be done in intrepid+1.

Thanks much in advance,

Guy

Hi, thanks for your answer.

Forgive my stupid question:
How can I check that all applications in my system use alsa only?

Another observation is that if I use espeak instead of ibmtts, orca periodically loose speech, forcing me to restart orca manually.

Maybe IBMTTS use OSS module. You need check that all applications in
your systems use alsa only.

Best
