If you do not already have Hadifix installed, do this:
1. Download MBROLA binary from http://tcts.fpms.ac.be/synthesis/mbrola.html
2. Install MBROLA to /usr/local/mbrola folder.
3. Download at least one german language file from the MBROLA site. Unzip to 
the /usr/local/mbrola folder.
4. Download txt2pho from http://www.ikp.uni-
bonn.de/forschung/phonetik/sprachsynthese/txt2pho
5. Unzip txt2pho to /usr/local/txt2pho.
6. Edit txt2phorc file, putting correct data paths in.
7. Either copy txt2phorc to ~/.txt2phorc or to /etc/txt2pho. Note that you 
drop the "rc" in file name.
8. In kttsmgr, choose Add/Hinzufügen, Language/Sprache = Deutsch, Synthesiser 
= Hadifix.
9. On the Configure Talker screen, configure a voice and the paths to MBROLA and 
txt2pho. For German Umlauts to work one need to set encoding to Latin1
10. On Audio-Tab set output to ALSA
11. Back in Configure Talker screen press Test-Button.

OK, this is not really better, but links are fixed.

Regards,
Ralph
