-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Can someone please look at this and suggest what I am doing wrong? I am using a Debian distro and have have speech-dispatcher 0.6 working fine with flite and espeak. I now want to see how it works with festival. I have installed festival and associated packages from Debian package archives, and have verified that it works in the interactive mode, as well as command line mode with the --tts option. Here is my problem. When I activate the festival daemon and make the necessary modifications to speechd.confand festival.conf in speech-dispatcher, and also to /etc/festival.scm, switching to sftsyn in speakup does not produce speech. I can reactivate speech by switching back to my ltlk driver. Here is the relevant speech-dispatcher.log info: [Fri Jun 9 06:33:50 2006 : 796748] speechd: ERROR: Module festival failed to initialize. Reason: --------------- Communicating with Festival through a socket. Can't connect to Festival server. Check your configuration in etc/speechd-modules/festival.conf for the specified host and port and check if Festival is really running there, e.g. with telnet. Please see documentation for more info. So, I did that. The relevant lines from the speech-dispatcher festival.conf module are these: FestivalServerHost "hq.hhs48.com" FestivalServerPort 1314 and from /etc/festival.scm are these lines: (require 'speech-dispatcher) (defvar server_access_list '(hq\.hhs\.com)) (defvar server_port 1314) Now, when I try connecting to the server with telnet, I get this: hq:~# telnet hq.hhs48.com 1314 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to hq.hhs48.com. Escape character is '^]'. Connection closed by foreign host. The connection is closed immediately. Something is running on 1314, since if it were not, I would get a "connection refused" error. And the festival server has a process ID, and can be restarted when changes are made to its configuration, acquiring a new PID. But speech-dispatcher can't connect to it, and telnet cannot connect either. Can someone spot something I am overlooking? I would appreciate any suggestions.
