To solve your problem right now, you have two options: * configure both speechd-up and speechd-el to use FEMALE1 as the default voice * configure the cepstral module to use Callie as MALE1 The later is a nasty hack, of course! The ideal solution would be to request an enhancement in both pieces of software to respect Speech Dispatchers default voice setting. Best regards, Tomas.
