Two things here. Is there a direct module to link Espeak and Speech Dispatcher yet? The second question is more concerning Speech Dispatcher than Espeak and that is I am trying to get Speech Dispatcher to work with the Cepstral voices. I have two of them: Callie and David. But Speech Dispatcher won't select the right voice. Right now, David is the default voice because he was the last one installed to Cepstral but I want Speech Dispatcher to use Callie so I modified the cepstral-generic.conf file to include Callie and David with addvoice entries as you described but David still comes up talking every time. If I hard code Callie in the command line after a '-v' option, she talks sexxy as ever:). So I'm wondering about the reliability of voice selections with the default voice sellection in the configuration vs the hard coding of -v command line option. It would appear that addvoice options aren't available or something. Hope this makes sense. Other than that problem, Cepstral is off to a good start provided enough system resources are available. I'm using Speech Dispatcher 0.3 (July of 2006) or there abouts.
