-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Before writing the script, I started speechd-up at highest priority, followed by manually starting speech-dispatcher and festival with highest priorities in regressive testing. I found that only giving highest priority to speechd-up made speech more fluid. I didn't try any other priority combinations, and from my point of view decreasing the priority of speech-dispatcher would be counter-intuitive when it came to more fluid speech. Ultimately, after writing the script, I found that the greatest cause of halting speech was festival, and discovered to my pleasant surprise, that flite has about the same voice quality as festival, but is much better than festival when it comes to system resources. Like I said, this is the setup that works for me, and you are free to modify the script if you don't like the way I did things.
