Yes. But you should probably download and install it instead
of using the package.
2. What synthesizer should I use to try emacspeak? I've red
about the IBM's one, but I can't find it anywhere.
Depends what language you need it for. In English you could
use festival, flite, or ESpeak. The 3 of them are free. In Russian I don't
know if Festival works, I think ESpeak does.
I'm not sure the IBM synth works in Russian, I rather
suspect not.
3. Would it be possible to send me a copy? I don't have
hardware synth.
Unfortunately the IBM synth as it exists today is
proprietary software, with per-copy pricing. You can buy a copy quite
inexpensively on the net, search for TTSynth (iirc). I don't have the URL at
hand, sorry.
HTH,
