I'm creating these questions as separate threads so that those who search the archives in the future can find their answer if they have the same question as me. I need to install speech-dispatcher-ibmtts, but the repo doesn't seem to have it. Is there another repo I need to enable? If so, how do I do that? I tried looking for a sources.list file, but have done enough reading to see that Fedora doesn't seem to use sources.list. Thanks.

IIRC, IBMTTS is partly-commercial (you have to have the speech engine and that's commercial). As such, you probably won't find it packaged for Fedora as there's a fairly strict policy against commercial, patent- or copyright-infringing software distributed with Fedora.
There is a pyibmtts module available from sourceforge that you'd have to build from source and, again, you need that commercial speech engine (which probably isn't available for current Linux versions--the latest I could find during a cursory search was 10 years old). You might have to try free TTS engines. Some are fairly good. Have a look at some of the stuff for Asterisk (the Linux-based PBX system). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@alldigital.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - "The Schizophrenic: An Unauthorized Autobiography" - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
