Hi, thank you very much for what ever reason giving it the full path ran the thing finally. Now how come I had to do it this way when it worked fine with out the full path from the command line. Go figure.

This is not the case, with recent versions at least. However what I do, is edit my /etc/speech-dispatcher/modules/dtk-generic.conf file and add the absolute path to the execution string. So I have the following: GenericExecuteSynth \ "echo \"[:n$VOICE][:ra $RATE][:dv ap $PITCH]\" >/tmp/dtk-speak.txt \ && echo \"$DATA\" | fmt >>/tmp/dtk-speak.txt && /usr/local/bin/say -fi /tmp/dtk-speak.txt" - -- Luke Get my public GPG key here: http://www.themuso.com/themuso-gpg-key.txt -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFCQj5LjVefwtBjIM4RArW5AKCC/uUC8OVmKOgmsVWEiMZ1QoQh3gCgxymX 6IXwDyBHfXMKuTC8nXWNlt8= =raq7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup at braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
