Hello again, When I run speech-dispatcher -d I get the following output. Any suggestions? One of my problems here are that I'm using Putty from a windows box to ssh into my linux machine as I don't have any screen reader available there at the moment so I cant really go through the conf file with any degree of certainty that I'm on the right line. Perhaps someone could send their speech.conf and festival.conf file for speech dispatcher to me? My address is lists at digitaldarragh.com I'm sorry. I know this is probably easy enough to fix but the lack of a screen reader on my laptop is really causing me problems. I'm driving my girl friend nuts by asking her to read the screen when something happens I cant look at using putty. Here is the output from speech-dispatcher -d Last login: Sun Sep 9 14:05:49 2007 Have a lot of fun... laptop:~ # laptop:~ # speech-dispatcher -d Error: can't open logging file! Using stdout.
