-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all. I recently decided to sit down, and to get espeak working with speech dispatcher and speechd-up, since I've been reading so many great messages about it. This is on a system that has run festival and flite with speech dispatcher and speechd-up without any problems up to now. I am using the following: Debian GNU/Linux testing speech-dispatcher 0.6.1-2 speechd-up 0.3-1 espeak 1.11a I'm going to leave out the kernel and speakup versions, since I don't think they're relevant in this situation. My speech-dispatcher.log reads: [Mon Aug 21 18:16:10 2006 : 198574] speechd: Speech Dispatcher Logging to file /var/log/speech-dispatcher/speech-dispatcher.log [Mon Aug 21 18:16:10 2006 : 248193] speechd: Initializing output module espeak-generic with binary /usr/lib/speech-dispatcher-modules//sd_generic and configuration /etc/speech-dispatcher/modules//espeak-generic.conf [Mon Aug 21 18:16:10 2006 : 248473] speechd: Output module is logging to file /var/log/speech-dispatcher/espeak.log [Mon Aug 21 18:16:10 2006 : 254047] speechd: Module espeak-generic loaded.

[Mon Aug 21 18:12:59 2006] speechd: WARNING: [frequency setting not supported,use rate instead] My espeak-generic.conf is as shipped with speech-dispatcher under debian, except for modifications to the following section: GenericRateAdd 180 GenericPitchAdd 50 GenericVolumeAdd 100 # (These values are multiplied by 100, because DotConf currently # doesn't support floats. So you can write 0.85 as 85 and so on.) GenericRateMultiply 90 GenericPitchMultiply 50 GenericVolumeMultiply 100 These are values that Steve Holmes said work for him in a previous post to this list. The only reason I made these changes is because from what I understand, espeak-generic.conf was written to work with espeak 1.10, and from previous posts to this list, I gathered that changes in espeak 1.11 made the values used in espeak-generic.conf incompatible. If my understanding is incorrect, and my changes to these values is in fact what is causing the problem, then I would appreciate it if someone would please tell me what the original values were, so I can change them back. Typing: speak "this is a test" on the command-line does work, and speaks the typed message. Also, I have aplay installed on this system as well, and it works just fine for playing all other applay-supported sound files, including wav. In case it's not obvious, the problem I'm experiencing here is no speech. If there is some other info I should provide, please let me know what info is needed. Thanks in advance for any help.
