In my system, Debian sid, Text to Speech does not work at all. When I click
on "test" in KTTS, it reads "Testing. MultiSyn voices require several
seconds to load. Please be patient". But actually it does not take "several
seconds", but it stays, apparently frozen, for ever and ever.

Does Text-to-Speech work for any of you? Maybe I should submit a bug?

Thank you


Very likely that you do not have festival installed.
# apt-get install festival
