Ubuntu and Speakup

Hi,
does Ubuntu have Speakup's kernel patch implemented?
If so, how can I activate it, so that I can use Speakup's
speech support 
in the text mode?
Does it support Speech-Dispatcher and Espeak?

I don't know but you can patch the kernel source with
checkout script
which you can find on linux-speakup.org pages.

Of course, you need speechd-up package and then works with
SD like
another SD client.

Good news and bad news here. Speakup is compiled into the
stock kernel 
in Edgy and Feisty, but will be removed again in Gutsy. We
are focusing 
on the Graphical desktop and want to reduce maintenance
burdens in the 
kernel. See the speakup list for the full debate.

Espeak in shipped on the Default CDs from Feisty, replacing
Festival.

Hello,
Ubuntu feisty does, but I think there is a plan to remove
speakup from
gutsy, may be you will want to also make your thoghts be
known on this.

You can use speakup and speech-dispatcher, you will need
speechd-up (apt
can provide it), and make sure SD is running. Then all you
need to do is
modprobe the speakup softsyn module with the following
command
sudo modprobe speakup_sftsyn

You may want to modify the speechd-up udev rule if you want
the speakup
char map (the best way to get punctuation levels in english
with the
espeak module). Let me know if you want details on what to
do for this.
