Robby, If you are using a packaged version of speech-dispatcher (you did not compile it from source) the modules directory might be in a different place (on my laptop using gentoo it is /etc/speech-dispatcher/modules), if the directory was already there, then it is probably that directory, just check it (you might have been correct). The line you added to speechd.conf to add the module is wrong, it uses the generic module, so you would need the following for your setup. AddModule "speak" "sd_generic" "speak.conf" "/var/log/speech-dispatcher/speak.log" This should now make it work. From Michael Whapples
