and festival, so it isn't difficult to set up a demo. You can use
apt-get. You would have to modify a configuration file to use the
espeak module (not espeak-generic) and you would have to start
speech-dispatcher by hand before doing the demo. There is a way to get
it started automatically, but I never bothered to find out what it is.
The instructions on the wiki are *close* to being right. Just
substitute using the espeak module for espeak-generic and don't bother
modifying the espeak config file.</div></blockquote><div><br>The debian package information is available here:<br><br> <a href="http://packages.debian.org/stable/sound/speech-dispatcher">http://packages.debian.org/stable/sound/speech-dispatcher</a> OR<br>

<div bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000">Hemant's RPMs will be specifically for the XO. Having special RPM's
for the XO is desireable because we don't have a lot of disk space to
work with and the usual package for speech-dispatcher brings in
festival and other stuff that wouldn't be needed. This isn't a problem
for ubuntu or debian running on a regular PC.</div></blockquote><div><br>Actually the RPM package at the moment is being made for the Fedora community in general. Once that is done, perhaps a special package with less features for OLPC can be made quite easily.<br>
