Hello, I am trying to get speech dispatcher working. I have festival installed and while in festival using the SayText command works. However, I receive the following error when trying to get spd-say to run: client: Speech Dispatcher failed to open: Connection refused I'm using SuSE 10.2 and I have both speech dispatcher and speech_up installed. I will try installing the flite synth in a few minutes but I'd really like to know what's happening here. I've edited the speech.conf file and the /modules/festival.conf file as well. There were a few lines I had to uncomment in the festival.conf file. I'm not sure if I've done this right as the creen reader I'm working really doesn't like reading text off a remote terminal screen. Any help appreciated. Darragh
