Re: Gnopernicus and FreeTTS

Hi, to get FreeTTS working with gnopernicus here is what you do.

1. Download the freetts tarball from freetts.sourceforge.net.
2. Download the j2sdk 1.4.2 from java.sun.com.
3. Get a copy of the gnome-speech sources.
4. Install the j2sdk rpm.
5. Extract the freetts tarball to ashared location such as
/opt/FreeTTS/.
6. Copy the speech.properties file from the freetts directory into your  
home directories.
7. Extract the gnome-speech sources.
8. Run configure passing the --prefix option to the pace where your  
gnome binaries are, and tell it the freetts directory is so it can link  
with freetts.
9. Assuming everything was correctlydone  in steps 1-8 all you need to  
do is run make and make install to get gnome-speech installed.
10. Last, from gnopernicus go to preferences, speech, voices, absolute  
voices, to change the freetts driver and voice.
Hth.
