Re: Soundsworks but Gnopernicus doesn't speak

[Bill Haneman <Bill Haneman Sun COM>]

Hi Darragh:

First, I think you'll need to turn off sound events, because they can 
conflict with speech on some systems.

gconftool-2 -s -t bool /desktop/gnome/sound/event_sounds false

Then make sure esd is on:

gconftool-2 -s -t bool /desktop/gnome/sound/enable_esd true

There should be a program called 'test-speech' installed, which you can 
use to test the text-to-speech services.  You should have a 'festival' 
driver.  If it doesn't seem to be working, make sure you have festival 
installed.

regards

Bill
