I've never had any problems with Speech-dispatcher, Speechd-up or espeak on my faster desktop machine but on my slower 200 MMX laptop with a wapping 32 meg of memory, I have lost speech a few times recently and when I rerun my script that starts up these moeules and all, I get it right back. Actually, I haven' had that problem for a while now since I upgraded to 0.6 of speech-dispatcher and latest version os speechd-up. I'm using version 18 of espeak at the moment.
