Well, I am not specifically a Debian user, but most of this is about the
same across all Linux distros.

First, I'd like to know if you ran the test-speech utility that ships
with gnome-speech. This will see if gnome-speech is properly making
contact with festival. If so the issue is gnopernicus and not the
driver. If not the issue is with the driver.
In one case I do remember installing gnopernicus and speech was turned
off in gnopernicus  by default.  Which required me to go in and check
the speech support checkbox.

Well, it really can depend on what the problem is. Do you have the
latest festival packages installed. Does test-speech work? Are you
getting any error messages when gnopernicus starts?
All of those things would help me diagnose the problem.   So try that
first, and then tell us what you get.

Fortunately, knock on wood, I haven't had that problem. I've just
dropped in the rpms, and was off except in the one case where g
gnopernicus kept unchecking the speech checkbox. Check that option out
under the startup button on gnopernicus.
