Hi Dan,
Unfortunately I have only had experience with text to speech on our
Asterisk PBX's and not on a standalone PC.
There is some information here in getting Cepstral to work with kde
http://cepstral.com/cgi-bin/support?page=faq&type=i386-linux#kde
and there are a number of other FAQ's available.
I also know that you need to enter the license key for the Cepstral voice.
As far as getting ktts to work with the Aspire and it's sound card,
unfortunately this is beyond my realm of experience, but I would think
that this would need to be fixed first before anything else. Do you have
sound in other applications?
Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Re; Text to speech.
Hello Simon and Martin. Thanx for the info on text to speech system. I have
downloaded festival, kttsmgr and I think the other one was flite (not 100%
sure on last one ) this gives me 2 icons on my acer aspire and eeepc. One
says kmouth and the other kttsmgr. I also bought a voice from cepstral.
Neither one works so far. Im trying to get them to work on my aspire first.
On the acer running eeenetbook remix I try to click on the ktts icon and a
screen pops up saying that "audio playback device HDA intel ALC268 analog is
not working" when I go to the configure tabs to audio, I have 2 choices. Kde
phonon or alsa. In alsa I have afew options under a sub heading called
device; #1 default,
#2 default:0 HAD intel ALC268 analog
#3 plughw:0<0 HAD intel alc268 analog
#4 custom
I have tried all three options and don't know what to put into #4.
What settings do I need to change to get it to talking? Also, to add the
voice that I tried.... it told me to run in a terminal box which I did. Than
read to bottom and answer "yes" than to creat a new ?opt/swift directory and
so on. It didn't do it on its own. I than created the directories manually
but it still wont add the voice to those files. Probably something simple
that im missing. Im wondering if I might need a response from the tech side.
Also do I need to get "kate" from apt get for it to read from?? I think that
there is where it says to read from???
Thanx in advance for your help.
Dan

Hi Dan,
Besides the 2 already mentioned, you may want to look at Cepstral
(www.cepstral.com) for good quality "voices", however they aren't free
but certainly worth the price.
