That's what I'm using: http://www.freebsoft.org/speechd-el#emacspeak BTW: The Emacspeak instructions are badly out of date. I haven't heard anyone sucfesfully using the ViaVoice TTS for LInux in quite some time: I'm on the Orca and Speechd-el lists as well as alt.comp.blind-users. Most tend to use eSpeak or Festival as far as the freebies go, and Dectalk or TTSynth, the same engine as in ViaVoice and Eloquence, for commercial stuff. -- With kind regards Veli-Pekka Tätilä Accessibility, Apps and Coding plus Synths and Music: http://vtatila.kapsi.fi
