KTTS on KDE?

[exploder]

Did any one try using KDE Text To Speech(KTTS) application in KDE 3.4. I heard that by default it comes with KDE 3.4 system? I have downloaded KTTSD and when i try to install it & during ./configure i get the following messages:

I have downloaded KTTSD-0.3.0 & when I try to install it and ./configure it I get the following messages:

The Epos program does not appear to be
installed on this system. The epos plugin will
be built, but you need to install epos before you
can use it. You can get it at
http://epos.ure.cas.cz/
Debian users: apt-get install epos

The freetts.jar Java archive has not been found on
this system. The FreeTTS plugin will be built,
but you must install FreeTTS it before you can use it,
or if it already installed you must set the path to
it in the KDE Text-to-Speech Manager.
FreeTTS is available from freetts.sourceforge.net

Some of the tools needed to run Hadifix do not appear
to be installed on this system. (mbrola and txt2pho
were not found in the PATH or /etc/txt2pho was not
found). The Hadifix plugin will be built, but you need
to install the required tools before you can use it:

- mbrola was not found. You can get it from
http://tcts.fpms.ac.be/synthesis/mbrola.html
- txt2pho was not found. You can get it from
http://www.ikp.uni-bonn.de/dt/forsch/phonetik/

Please read the KTTS Handbook for further information.

But I did install EPOS after seeing the above message. Even after installing EPOS I still get the above EPOS message.

How to tell KTTSD that I have installed
EPOS on my pc?

I am running Debian Sarge 3.1 & KDE 3.3.
Quick help will be greately appreciated.

I assume you are running stable or testing. If you are running unstable, kttsd is in the unstable apt repositories. If not, sorry, I can not be of much help.

I don't get any error. When I try to "test" the voice of the synthesizer the program simply quits and I have to restart it again and even if i ask KTTS to read a text file by adding a text file to the "job" section-it says the text is "reading" but I can't hear any thing!!!

But, the Festival synth which is installed on my pc is properly working( I mean if i test it by typing SayText"Hello") it works fine. It speaks out.
