Hi Michael, Speech Dispatcher can retrieve a list of voice names and set a specific voice now. I don't know however how we could use that with Speakup since the current output mechanism doesn't support this. But I'll ask Kirk about it. You can still select various eSpeak voices for the various languages by just switching the language (symbolic voice names like MALE1 etc. operate under the given language). There is currently only 6 different voices available for English in eSpeak and much less for the other languages, so I believe all should now be selectable using these symbolic voice names. We have however already designed a more sophisticated mechanism for the next versions of Dispatcher. With regards, Hynek Hanke
