I have just downloaded it and installed it, seems to be working fine at the moment, and I am glad that there is now a espeak specific module. One question about the espeak module, how can I change the voice? I have tried setting the default voice in speechd.conf to FEMALE1 but it seems to not have changed anything (even after restarting speech-dispatcher, and even after a machine restart to make sure it did reload). Is it that the espeak module doesn't support the different voices?
