Well, I have a hack solution for right now that works. It's not super pretty, but it makes the current version of flite work (AND it works with maemo-mapper)! The solution is to open an Xterm and do the following. You'll need flite and gainroot already installed. Code: root cd /usr/bin mv flite flite-hack cat >>flite<<EOF #!/bin/sh /usr/bin/flite-hack "$@" /tmp/tmpplay.wav && /usr/bin/play-sound /tmp/tmpplay.wav >/dev/null /bin/rm /tmp/tmpplay.wav EOF chmod a+x flite Not the most elegant solution, and it won't work for very large strings of text (because /tmp isn't that big AND play-sound hand issues with large wave files), but it works well for mapper!
