-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Congratulations! That solves my problem too. Next problem: How to set those voice parameters $VOICE, $PITCH, and $RATE! The /proc/speakup variables pitch and rate affect them, but I doubt that is the intended way. Problem #2. Is there a preferred way to abandon the softsynth and switch to another speakup driver using the external doubletalk? For instance should speechd_up be killed? speech-dispatcher?
