wine users - Oct 2010 - Text to Speech Programs Not Working

Hi, I'm trying to get a specific program to work under Wine. It is NextUp
TextAloud. It gives some error when I try to run it.

I've also tried to install the Windows version of espeak and it won't
work under Wine either. So I think there is something different that the text to
speech programs use that Wine doesn't like. Does anyone have any ideas of
how to get this to work?

Thanks!

Wine version? If it's not the latest development release, upgrade.

Have you installed the Microsoft text to speech engine?

could you paste the console output from your last run?

looks like there a trial at http://www.nextup.com/download.html
Do you have the same problems with the trial?
