Thank you.

"festival" is the text-to-speech app shipped with Fedora. "man
festival" has the details. It would be really nice if it was
integrated with the desktop, if you get it working in a useful fashion
let us know.

Thanks for the guidance, someone mentioned "flite" and/or "festival,"
neither of which showed in my google effort? It turns out that festival
is available from yum and also on disk #3 of FC-2, this distribution.
I installed festival from the FC-2 CD and now have to figure out what it
is and what I can do with it.
I lost most of the sight in my right eye a couple of years ago and now I
am having trouble with the left eye. I can still read text on the screen
but with difficulty, making it large helps but converting it to voice
might be useful at least part of the time.

Yes, I'm sure google does ok if you know the app. names, flite, and
festival, but I searched on "text to voice" and never got where I needed
to be.
I'm in good shape now and have festival working from the command line.
Thanks to all.
