This was mainly my work on the user side :) Of course, Kirk did the Speakup kernel side of this. The program that enables you to interface Speakup to Speech Dispatcher is called speechd-up, that is something different from Speech Dispatcher. You might thing about Speech Dispatcher as a server that provides an easy way for user space aplications to use speech synthesizers. Then there are different applications that take the advantage of this (speechd-el for Emacs, speechd-up for Speakup, spd-say as a line client...). So the work that needed (and still needs to be done) in the Speakup-Speech Dispatcher interfacing is done in speechd-up. speechd-up is a separate thing. It still lacks some basic Speakup commands so there is not a public release yet, but you can download it from CVS. (For the people who use it here: There might be a little improvement in the performance if you recompile and reinstall speechd-up now after installing Speech Dispatcher 0.4, because a problem with the TCP communication causing unnecessary delays was fixed. You need to recompile speechd-up because it was a fix in the shared library, so you need it to be linked against the newer libraries.) With Regards, Hynek
