If you do not have a hardware synth, you will have to install the speechd-up package. This should also install speech-dispatcher. Then you must load the speakup_sftsyn module: sudo modprobe speakup_sftsyn > I notice that CTRL ALT F1 etc doesn't seem to work on my laptop. What do you mean by does not work?

The Terminal option in the menu basically opens a window in in wich a shell is running. Doing Control+Alt+F1 on the other hand will switch away from the graphical user interface (the X window system) and bring you to the linux console. The latter is where you can use speakup.
