can speakup be used in karmic?

[mike]

   Hi, I am having no luck at all getting yasr to work in karmic. Is there anyway to add speakup? It seems to me that in earlier versions of ubuntu there was a package that you had to install to get speakup working. But at that time I think speakup was in the kernel. Has it been added again in Karmic?
If it has, we should be able to get speech in the server addition too.
   Mike.
