-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 There is a line in /etc/speech-dispatcher/modules/espeak-generic.conf that echos $data to espeak. It is likely that it calls espeak as speak. If you change speak on that line to espeak it will work for you unless you have one of the latest versions of espeak which has both speak and espeak, in which case I am unsure of the problem. But you can check your /var/log/espeak-generic.log for more info. HTH, Lorenzo - -- I've always found anomalies to be very relaxing.
