Are you sure that the module Speech Dispatcher uses for flite is your newly compiled module? Doesn't it still use the old one? The changes you made sound reasonable to me. When experimenting with this, you might want to consider running the module directly for test purposes. The binary is usually build in src/modules/.libs/ or you can use the libtool script src/modules/ in the source directory of speechd. You can run the module standalone with the configuration file like this: ./sd_flite 1 /usr/local/etc/speech-dispatcher/modules/flite.conf or similar. The '1' is not important here, it doesn't do anything. The module makes logs and everything as usually but instead of Speech Dispatcher comunicating to it on stdin, you type the commands. So after you execute it, type SPEAK[ENTER] Hello, is this the new voice?[ENTER] .[ENTER] and it should say it. This is useful when you don't want to install everything after each experiment in flite.c or other modules. With Regards, Hynek Hanke
