24 Hi William,
25
26 Could you point me to a noob's guide to espeak? I cannot seem to get it
27 to output any speech. voyageur on IRC stated that it worked for him via
28 'aoss espeak "hello world"' - however, I don't have aoss. I inteded to
29 test against kismet, but without being able to get it working
30 standalone, I can't get it working with kismet.

32 Thanks~!
