-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have a modified espeak-generic.conf at http://tspivey.freeshell.org/espeak-generic.conf. You might want to modify it again so that it goes through the sox play command, since the one I have sort of chops - I'm not sure about the latest version of espeak. I think the blank line deletion still stands - speech dispatcher sometimes sends just blank lines to espeak, which causes it to pause. - - Tyler On Sun, Mar 18, 2007 at 11:45:10PM +0100, Michael Prokop wrote: > * Hynek Hanke <hanke at brailcom.org> wrote: > > Michael Prokop p??e v Ne 18. 03. 2007 v 15:59 +0100: > > >> "I however find Espeak does not sound quite as clear to me.
