[SLE] suse 10.0 and KDE Accessability
I have KTTS, Festival, and Kmouth all installed. I can select text in KPDF, right click, and there is a speak text option. Selecting that, it speaks the text. Question is, how do you do this with Kword, Konqueror, etc?

On the KDE desktop, or maybe use a panel button so it will not be covered by your running applications, place an icon with this action: dcop klipper klipper getClipboardContents | fmt | festival --tts Then simply highlight text with the mouse and click the icon. The highlighted text is read to you. Very cool. (I would like to acknowledge that this tip originally came from another list member. I do not have the person's name, but I saved the tip and have been using it!)

I would like to be able to do this as I am visually impaired. I have Festival installed but Yast knows nothing of KTTS or Kmouth. That means it doesn't work. Any help would certainly be appreciated.

Hello,
More important thing.
Does festival work on your system?
Hello Masaru, Thanks for replying. Welllll...I am not sure exactly. I downloaded and installed KTTS and it works for the clipboard and text files. It uses festival.
In my case.
festival> (SayText "Hello, World") works, but
That does not work for me. I get: bob@EasyStreet:/> festival> (SayText "Hello, World") bash: syntax error near unexpected token `(' bob@EasyStreet:/>
# festival --tts <text file>
doesn't work.
For me neither. I get: bob@EasyStreet:~/Documents> festival --tts Mary_Jones.letter pipe_open: failed to start audsp Audio spooler has died unexpectedly
So, I compiled festival with gcc4 patch for festival and speech_tools.
Now, it works fine for me.
If you want to compile, I'll send you the patch files.
So, I don't know if I must do that or not. As I said above, I have KTTS working OK. I don't mind re-compiling if that is necessary. I don't have KTTS working in Kmail and that is what I need. I must do more research. Send me the patches if you don't mind and I will decide whether it is neccessary or not. Thanks again, and regards to you also. Bob S.
