-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 First, you need the eSpeak module, which is in speech-dispatcher CVS. Or I can send you a copy off list. Save that file in /etc/speech-dispatcher/modules. Once you have the module, add the following line to /etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf: AddModule "espeak-generic" "sd_generic" "espeak-generic.conf" "/var/log/speech-dispatcher/espeak-generic.log" Now if you want eSpeak to be the default synth, change the line that begins with DefaultModule so that it says: DefaultModule espeak-generic Restart speech-dispatcher and you are speaking eSpeak.
